How to get the leave start and end dates from the xml

If you ever have to get the leave start and end dates from the xml of a business object here is one way to do it. This assumes you’re working in an alert or scheduled task.

  

//Start_Date20130225 000000

//End_Date20130228 000000

BOFormInstance bo = new BOFormInstance();

bo.setXML(busObjXml);

String startDate = WorkflowUtil.getFieldValueAsString(bo, "Start_Date");

String endDate = WorkflowUtil.getFieldValueAsString(bo, "End_Date");

There You have it.
