  All the following fromXXX methods of the class
javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar:

static XMLGregorianCalendar fromDateTimeType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromDateType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromGDayType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromGMonthDayType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromGMonthType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromGYearMonthType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromGYearType(String lexicalRepresentation)
static XMLGregorianCalendar fromTimeType(String lexicalRepresentation)

do not set the timeZone property of the returned calendar to
UNSPECIFIED_TIMEZONE when timezone is not present in the lexicalRepresentation.

The documentation of the constant XMLGregorianCalendar.UNSPECIFIED_TIMEZONE
reads:

"Defines a singleton timezone value that indicates that the timezone was
unspecified in the textual representation." So the following method call

XMLGregorianCalendar.fromGMonthType("--01--")

should return calendar with the timeZone set to UNSPECIFIED_TIMEZONE,
but the current default TimeZone is used.

The bug is found in jdk1.5.0/beta/b28.

To reproduce the bug compile and run the following code as shown
in the log below:
------------------------------ test.java
import javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar;

class test {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        XMLGregorianCalendar calendar
            = XMLGregorianCalendar.fromGMonthType("--01--");

        if (calendar.hasTimeZone()) {
            System.out.println("timeZone is set to "
                        + calendar.getTimeZone().getDisplayName()
                        + ", expected UNSPECIFIED_TIMEZONE");
        } else {
            System.out.println("OK");
        }
    }
}
