Trying to set the date created and updated for a content node, here's my code:

String dateCreated = document.getDateCreated().toString();
String dateUpdated = document.getDateUpdated().toString();
        
NamedValue[] properties = 
         new NamedValue[]{
Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_DESCRIPTION, document.getDescription()),
                  Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_TITLE, document.getTitle()),
                  Utils.createNamedValue("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}author", document.getAuthors()),
                  Utils.createNamedValue(Constants.PROP_NAME, document.getFileName()),
                  //Utils.createNamedValue("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}created", dateCreated),
                  Utils.createNamedValue("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}modified", dateUpdated)
                  };

              logger.warn("Creating: " + document.getFileName());
               
               CMLCreate create = new CMLCreate("1", parentReference, Constants.TYPE_CONTENT, properties);
               CML cml = new CML();
               cml.setCreate(new CMLCreate[]{create});
               UpdateResult[] results = WebServiceFactory.getRepositoryService().update(cml);  

               ContentFormat format = new ContentFormat(document.getMimeType(), document.getEncoding());
            
            WebServiceFactory.getContentService().write(results[0].getDestination(), Constants.PROP_CONTENT, document.getContentAsByteArr(), format);
   ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The "getRepositoryService.update(cml)" throws the exception:

message1   "Failed to convert date 2006-07-07 to string"   

document.getDateCreated() returns a Date

Any ideas ?

I am not sure if this is of any help but you can refer it and may lead you to a solution.

The required date has to be in a specific format, ISO8601 format. The format is: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.mmm(+\-)hh:mm.

If the date string is not in this format, you shall get an error. So try extracting the Year, month, date, etc from the date object and generate the above format, or use a formatter on the date.

Hope this helps.
