I am working on a web service program that makes calls back and forth in the form of XML. My issue is not with that however. When I run this locally (in Eclipse) on my machine, it seems to work. However, when my coworker runs it/if I attempt to run it on the server, he gets this exception before the web service is even called:
Exception #6 in ClientMain.java java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 2012-07-09T08:19:44-0400
Does anyone have any idea why it would take the argument on one machine but not the other? The build should not be the issue as I copied my entire eclipse workspace on a thumbdrive (so all associated jars and the build path should have carried over). As far as the server run, I exported the entire program as a runnable jar (running Eclipse Indigo) and get a similar issue.
I'd appreciate any insight!

The problem is that your 'date' that you get from strRunType.substring(2,strRunType.length()) isn't a valid lexicalRepresentation of the date.
You'll need to get your input value correctly formatted in order to parse as an XMLGregorianCalendar object.
The error being that you are missing a : in the -04:00 in your date.
Which you must have been aware of because of sRunType = sRunType.replaceAll("-0500", "-05:00"); code... except you were using a 5 instead of a 4?
