Hi, Is your problem in actually finding out the types or in arriving at a type mapping ? If the question is regarding mapping I think you can simply pass in datetime objects as seconds since epoch, in this case it will be mapped to a FLOAT or DOUBLE.
The other option is to convert it to a string type using the "isoformat" method. This is the better option I think, since it can also contain the time zone information if any, contained in the datetime object. But can't you use javax.xml.namespace.QName XSD_DATETIME for representing date and time ? Complex types are more tricky, since you cannot resolve it to a single type. It can be represented as a two tuple (x, y) of floats, where x is the real part and y the imaginary part. Also take a look at how derived types are encoded in XML-RPC in Python. It could be useful. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xmlrpclib.html --Anand On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 4:35 PM, Heshan Suriyaarachchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I am using a mechanism to annotate a python script, and at the deployment > time I am reading the annotations and mapping the types defined in the > python script to xml schema types(This is done inside java).But the problem > I am facing is , since python is dynamically typed how should I map the date > , time types , complex types?(I have attached below some sample code to give > you an idea).
