Date type binding to oData

Hi,

I am new to sapui5 and i believe this will be something easy for you guys the expert to help me with.

I have an odata entity that has a date attribute as key, as type edm.dateTime.

In order to retrieve a particular entity, i use the following code to bind:

  var sObjectPath = this.getModel().createKey("PeopleSet", {

  InDate: oDate,

  Uid: sUserName

  });

  this.getView().bindElement("/" + sObjectPath);

oDate is the Date object return from CalendarDateInterval control.

So for example if i pick the date of 30/6/2016, the odata call inDate will be formatted to 2016-06-29T16:00:00 (which is the correct time stamp).

But the problem is, in the odata backend get_entity method:

1. If I use a date type to receive the data, i will only get 20160629, which is less than a day than the correct date

2. If i use a timestamp to receive the data, i will get 20160629160000, but i will not have a timezone to convert it to the correct date.

So how do you guys normally handle date?
