APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

  ****************************************************************
  The processor examines the result of calling any user-defined
  extension function, and determines which data type in the
  XPath and XQuery Data Model most closely corresponds to the
  Java data type of the result.  In the case of a value of type
  XMLGregorianCalendar, the processor always chooses the type
  xs:dateTime, and in the case of a value of type Duration, the
  processor always chooses xs:duration.   However, the
  XMLGregorianCalendar type can represent any of the schema date
  and time data types, not just xs:dateTime values, and a value
  of type Duration can also represent xs:yearMonthDuration and
  xs:dayTimeDuration values.  If the value contained in
  XMLGregorianCalendar or Duration value is not an xs:dateTime
  or xs:duration, the processor is unable to force the object to
  represent a value of that type, and an error results.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem was fixed by having the processor examine the type
  of the XMLGregorianCalendar or Duration value by calling the
  getXMLSchemaType() method on the object.  The processor then
  selects the XML Schema data type that most closely corresponds
  to the type returned by calling that method.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 1.0.0.11.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
