Bug 367260

Description Will Smythe 2011-12-20 21:11:30 EST

See attached project. I have a record that contains a few simple fields:

record Student

	firstName string;
	lastName string;
	hireDate date?;
	active boolean?;

	d decimal(9,2)?;
	t timestamp?;	
	i int?;
	f float?;

end

Note that 'hireDate' is marked as nullable. If I instantiate a new Student and return it from a service function, I get a 'JSON conversion cannot be performed on field:hireDate in common.Student' error in the RUI handler calling this function. If I set hireDate to a non-null value or make the 'hireDate' field not nullable, everything works.

So, there seems to be an issue with JSON conversion of nullable date/timestamp fields. I tried this with a few other primitive types (boolean, decimal, int) and even if the value of the field is null, it works (i.e. my callback function in my RUI handler is invoked).

See attached project.
