KevinShuk @RemoteAction and Date arguments from javascript
The documentation for javascript remoting says, "Your method can take Apex primitives as arguments," and I'd like to pass a Javascript Date into my remoted function. Javascript Date has a time component, so it's analogous to an Apex DateTime.
However, when I pass in the Date from javascript calling my remoted function, the remoting javascript code throws an exception complaining that I'm not passing in a DateTime but rather the time as an ISO string.
I noticed that in the opposite direction, DateTimes get marshaled as an integer of the number of milliseconds since the epoch (Jan 1, 1970), which javascript can use in a Date constructor, so I tried passing that in for the DateTime arg, but it still complained.
Is there a way to pass a Javascript Date directly to a remoted function as an Apex DateTime??
My workaround in the meantime was to accept the Date as an ISO string, replace the "T" with a space, and use the result to construct the Apex DateTime with DateTime.valueOf. It'd be nice to be able to skip this, though.
Thanks,

Hey Kevin.
Try passing the result of Date.toUTCString() to the client-side remote method.

Hey Kevin.

Awesome - this seems to do the trick.
Is this in the docs somewhere, and I missed it?
Gracias!
I also want the same result for my requirement Can you please post the sample code for that
