Pass dynamic value type Date into tSOAP Message

[ANguyen1685543904]

I want to pass a value type date of this format "yyyy-MM-dd" (ex : 2023-09-06) to tSOAP message by using a global variable but not successful. It always give me this value `Wed Sep 06 00:00:00 CEST 2023` instead of this value `2023-09-06`.

Here is my job (test) :

So in this job, I will stock my last date execution of a job in a file csv. Then at the beginning of a job, I will assign this value to a global variable so I could pass it to tSOAP message.

Here is my code in tJavaFlex_1 :

```

// start part of your Java code

System.out.println("Date last update:");

//Déclaration des variables qui stockent la date de dernière update

String str_date_last_update;

Date dat_date_last_update;

//Maintenant on attribue les bonnes valeurs aux variables

str_date_last_update = row8.contenu;

dat_date_last_update = TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", str_date_last_update);

//Enfin on expose les variables locales commes des variables global pour pouvoir les réutiliser

globalMap.put("dat_date_last_update", dat_date_last_update);

globalMap.put("str_date_last_update", str_date_last_update);

System.out.println("End of file");

System.out.println((String)globalMap.get("str_date_last_update"));

System.out.println((Date)globalMap.get("dat_date_last_update"));

```

So example, for the code `System.out.println((String)globalMap.get("str_date_last_update"));` will give me this value **2023-09-06** while this code `System.out.println((Date)globalMap.get("dat_date_last_update"));` give me this value **Wed Sep 06 00:00:00 CEST 2023** . But I need to pass a value of type Date with this value **2023-09-06**. Because if not, I always receive a bad response.

Here is my tSOAP message (simplifié):

```

"<soap:Envelope ...

        <!--- type date with restriction pattern([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}):-->

        <LowerBoundaryDate>" +(Date)globalMap.get("dat_date_last_update") + "</LowerBoundaryDate>

        <UpperBoundaryDate>2023-09-06</UpperBoundaryDate>

      </SelectionByChangedSinceDate>

 ....  

</soap:Envelope>" 

```

I have tried to pass this code in tSOAP message but it didn't work :

```

"<soap:Envelope ...

        <!--- type date with restriction pattern([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}):-->

        <LowerBoundaryDate>" + TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", (String)globalMap.get("str_date_last_update")) + "</LowerBoundaryDate>

        <UpperBoundaryDate>2023-09-06</UpperBoundaryDate>

      </SelectionByChangedSinceDate>

 ....  

</soap:Envelope>" 

```

Does it work if passing a string of date? eg:

"<soap:Envelope ...

        <!--- type date with restriction pattern([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}):-->

        <LowerBoundaryDate>" +(String)globalMap.get("str_date_last_update")+ "</LowerBoundaryDate>

        <UpperBoundaryDate>2023-09-06</UpperBoundaryDate>

      </SelectionByChangedSinceDate>

 ....  

</soap:Envelope>" 

Without global variable, do you get it work with a constant?

"<soap:Envelope ...

        <!--- type date with restriction pattern([0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}):-->

        <LowerBoundaryDate>2023-09-05</LowerBoundaryDate>

        <UpperBoundaryDate>2023-09-06</UpperBoundaryDate>

      </SelectionByChangedSinceDate>

 ....  

</soap:Envelope>"

it works now with String, thank you. I used to pass a string before but maybe there was a problem with global variable.
