DateTime type in ScimAttribute

[BlueRui]

Hi,
I tried to create an extension with an attribute of DateTime type. The example on the readme.md file shows it can be set using "type" in ScimAttribute as follows:

  @ScimAttribute(
    description="A Boolean value indicating the User's administrative status.",
    type=Type.BOOLEAN
    )

But ScimAttribute does not seem to support "type". I tried using java.util.Date for DateTime without setting the type in ScimAttribute. But in response, the DateTime value is displayed as the fastTime value as shown below rather than in xsd:dateTime format.

    "urn:mem:params:scim:schemas:extension:DateExtension": {
        "dateModified": 1704302059063,
        "dateCreated": 1704302059063
    }

What's the right way to add a DateTime attribute? Thanks

I figured it out by using @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(Iso8601DateTimeAdapter.class). The readme could be updated.

Agreed!
There are two things at play here:

• Currently there is a little bit of duplication between the need for the ScimAttribute annotation and the JAXB annotations, The former is used to define the SCIM Schema and the latter for serialization. (there was talk on another issue about potentially reusing the ScimAttribute annotation for some serialization.
• A missing README example for a date.

Can you send us a PR for the README based on your example?
