Java - XMLGregorianCalendar Exception

[samz]

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: 2012-07-09T08:19:44-0400Does 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!Stacktrace/Output:\[code\]java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 2012-07-09T09:19:42-0400 at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl$Parser.skip(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl$Parser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.datatype.DatatypeFactoryImpl.newXMLGregorianCalendar(Unknown Source) at com.travelport.worldspanimageserver.client.ClientMain.requestRun(ClientMain.java:231)******************************************************Running by Yesterday's Date ...2012-07-09T09:19:42-0400Current date being used is 2012-07-09T09:19:42-0400Exception #6 in ClientMain.java java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 2012-07-09T09:19:42-0400 at com.travelport.worldspanimageserver.client.ClientMain.runTypeCheck(ClientMain.java:161) at com.travelport.worldspanimageserver.client.ClientMain.main(ClientMain.java:81)Exception #13 in ClientMain.java java.lang.NullPointerException\[/code\]Method causing exception:\[code\] import java.text.DateFormat;
