Bug 469983

Function 'getEventHistory' when run initially displays Satellite channel subscription history. Upon running the same function after updating packages via satellite on a client, it displays following error:

Fault returned from XML RPC Server, fault code -1: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault:
unhandled internal exception: Could not find method called: setCreated in class: com.redhat.rhn.frontend.dto.HistoryEvent with params: [type:
java.lang.String, value: 2008-10-24 12:55:26]

I've reproduced with scripts based on both the python script provided and
the perl script from Engineering's samples script
(trunk/eng/java/scripts/api/perl/system.getEventHistory.pl).

Based on the following stacktrace from catalina.out -

Looks like the problem is when
rhn.domain.server.ServerFactory.getServerHistory retrieves set of
HistoryEvents, and even though this is a select, the persistence layer
does a db write (due to caching?) and that's where HistoryEvent barfs b/c
setCreated() takes a Date not a String as apparently was passed in here.

rhn-java-sat-5.1.1/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/frontend/dto/HistoryEvent.java
...
    public void setCreated(Date createdIn) {
        this.created = createdIn;
    }
...

Back port would be easy to do for 5.1.1.  Feel free to request.

Verified. No internal exception generated.
