Alfresco's JCR API does not support required xs:dateTime

[lfuller]

An xpath query of "//*[@cm:created > xs:dateTime('2001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z')]"

results in an exception:

Has anyone else ran into this bug?

I suspect our JCR xpath is missing xs:dateTime support.

Please raise a JIRA issue.

I've submitted the jira ticket.  The version I descovered the issue in is Alfresco 1.4.  However, the exact same library and configs which appear to be the root of this issue are also used for Alfresco 2.0.

http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1363

I'd recomment looking into the other required types as well (spec 6.6.4.4).
