I assume you're talking about JAXB here? If so then yes. Just use the javaType binding declaration in your JAXB bindings. See here: http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnbbf.html

Yes. According to the mapping table on this page, xsd:date maps to XMLGregorianCalendar.

You can map to Calendar, Date, or XMLGregorianCalendar:

You can leverage the @XmlSchemaType annotation to choose the XML format: xsd:date, xsd:dateTime, xsd:time, etc.
