well, you could change your annotations from "DateTime" to "integer", 
then the return value should automatically be the timestamp.

/**
  * @var integer
  */
protected $date;

/*
  * @return integer $date
  */
public function getDate() {
	return $this->date;
}

You can also call getTimestamp() on your DateTime object to get the 
timestamp.

kind regards
