I am trying to implement a web service that returns a datetime stamp as
part of the structured object returned in the response. As noted in
another post (ActionWebService date casting error - Rails - Ruby-Forum), there seems to be
a problem with the DateTime.parse method in that it does not match the
year. Is anyone aware of workaround for this issue?
My current idea (a hack, but it seems to work) is to modify the
AWS/casting.rb module so that casting of datetime stamp is done by the
Time class instead of DateTime. Essentially, I have changed line 106 to
read “Time.parse(value.to_s).” This is not a best practice for sure, so
I am eagerly in search of another solution.
Thanks.
Josh
