Answer 1

Ok, i've found a solution to your problem.

" The solution is possibly to use the data type converter in JAXB, since JAXB must be able to parse ISO8601 date string according to the XML Schema specification. javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime("1999-01-01T23:59:59.999-08:00") will give you a Calendar object and you can simply use getTime() on it, if you need a Date object. "

This is the link where i found the above answer.

You can simply use it like this:

Calendar cl = javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime("1999-01-01T23:59:59.999-08:00");
System.out.println(cl.getTime());

Hope this helps. Cheers!
