Apps Web Service call

[the phantom]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to send a call to a web service which takes in two values - one which is a simple integer but the other one is a date value, which is the format of 'dd MMM yyyy'. Apparently the date is fine as a string so I've use the simpledateformat to set it up in the correct fashion.

However when I give the webservice the values it gives me an error message of;

Server was unable to read request. --->There is an error in XML document(1,357). ---> The string '19 Oct 2011' is not a valid ALLXsc value.

The webservice is called by clicking a button. Here is the button code snippet (the rightNow value is a date variable declared earlier that simply gets the current date);


public


void onClick(View arg0) {

SimpleDateFormat dateformatDDMMMYYYY =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMM yyyy");

StringBuilder nowddMMMYYYY =
new StringBuilder( dateformatDDMMMYYYY.format( rightNow ) );


TodayDate = nowddMMMYYYY.toString();

getJobs();

}


The getJobs function code is below (the ResId value is an integer setup earlier);

public


void getJobs() {

SoapObject Request =
new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);

Request.addProperty(
"DateToGet",TodayDate);

Request.addProperty(
"Resource_Id",ResId);

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope =
new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);

envelope.
dotNet = true;

envelope.setOutputSoapObject(Request);

AndroidHttpTransport aht =
new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);




try

{

aht.call(
SOAP_ACTION, envelope);

SoapObject response = (SoapObject)envelope.getResponse();


Desc = response.getProperty("Description").toString();

}




catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();


listJ.setText(e.getMessage());

}

When it is run it always goes to the catch part and displays the error message in the listJ textbox, all of the webservice details are fine as I called another webservice form the same location before in the app.

Has anyone go any ideas or could try to elaborate on the error message?

Thanks

As a follow up to this I've discovered the java.sql date variable which produces the date in a format that the web service will accept however when I try to give this value to the web service I receive an error message that says 'Cannot Serialize'

Anyone got any ideas about what this means?
