WSO2 DSS appends timezone information to mysql date result

Question

So I'm trying to use dates with mysql on the wso2 dss. Simple code

<query id="testDates" useConfig="PORTFOLIOS_DS">
<sql>
  SELECT DATE(date) AS date FROM dateTest
</sql>
<result element="jsonObject" rowName="jsonArray">
  <element column="date" name="testDate" xsdType="date"/>
</result>
</query>

So it returns "2015-03-10-04:00" which isn't considered a valid date my many libraries (momentJS in particular) and to be fair it is a strange format, why do I care about timezone without the time.

Does anyone know why it is appending the timezone, how can I prevent the appending of timezone to dates but leave it on datetimes?

I was able to reproduce this issue with DSS 3.5.0 version. So I have already created a public JIRA ticket [1]. and once this is fixed I will notify you.

In the meantime as a workaround, I would like to suggest to use an XSLT transformation to trip off timezone information. For more information about how to use XSLT inside the DSS server please refer [2]
