xs:date XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:dateTime XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:duration Duration
xs:gDay XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:gMonth XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:gMonthDay XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:gYear XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:gYearMonth XMLGregorianCalendar
xs:time XMLGregorianCalendar

XQuery and XPath/Java Type Mappings
XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model Java Data Type
xdt:dayTimeDuration Duration
xdt:yearMonthDuration Duration

W3C XML Schema data types that have a "natural" mapping to Java types are defined by JSR 31: Java™ Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) Specification, Binding XML Schema to Java Representations. JAXB defined mappings for XML Schema built-in data types include:

  • xs:anySimpleType
  • xs:base64Binary
  • xs:boolean
  • xs:byte
  • xs:decimal
  • xs:double
  • xs:float
  • xs:hexBinary
  • xs:int
  • xs:integer
  • xs:long
  • xs:QName
  • xs:short
  • xs:string
  • xs:unsignedByte
  • xs:unsignedInt
  • xs:unsignedShort
