Class GDateBuilder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, GDateSpecification

    public final class GDateBuilder
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements GDateSpecification, java.io.Serializable
    Used to build GDates.

    Like GDate, a GDateBuilder represents an Gregorian Date, Time, and Timezone, or subset of information (Year, Month, Day, Time, Timezone, or some combination). Wherever it provides guidance, the XML Schema 1.0 specification (plus published errata) is followed.

    Instances may separately set or clear the year, month, day-of-month, and time-of-day. Not all operations are meaningful on all combinations. In particular, timezone normalization is only possible if there is a time, or a time together with a full date.

      • setJulianDate

        public void setJulianDate​(int julianday)
        Sets the Gregorian date based on the given Julian date. The Julian date (JD) is a continuous count of days from 1 January 4713 BC.
        Parameters:
        julianday - the julian day number
      • setDate

        public void setDate​(java.util.Date date)
        Sets the current time and date based on a java.util.Date instance.

        The timezone offset used is based on the default TimeZone. (The default TimeZone is consulted to incorporate daylight savings offsets if applicable for the current date as well as the base timezone offset.)

        If you wish to normalize the timezone, e.g., to UTC, follow this with a call to normalizeToTimeZone.

        Parameters:
        date - the Date object to copy
      • setGDate

        public void setGDate​(GDateSpecification gdate)
        Copies a GDateSpecification, completely replacing the current information in this GDateBuilder.
        Parameters:
        gdate - the GDateSpecification to copy
      • getCalendar

        public XmlCalendar getCalendar()
        Retrieves the value of the current time as an XmlCalendar.

        XmlCalendar is a subclass of GregorianCalendar which is slightly customized to match XML schema date rules.

        The returned XmlCalendar has only those time and date fields set that are reflected in the GDate object. Because of the way the Calendar contract works, any information in the isSet() vanishes as soon as you view any unset field using get() methods. This means that if it is important to understand which date fields are set, you must call isSet() first before get().

        Specified by:
        getCalendar in interface GDateSpecification
      • getDate

        public java.util.Date getDate()
        Retrieves the value of the current time as a java.util.Date instance.
        Specified by:
        getDate in interface GDateSpecification
      • compareToGDate

        public final int compareToGDate​(GDateSpecification datespec)
        Comparison to another GDate.
        • Returns -1 if this < date. (less-than)
        • Returns 0 if this == date. (equal)
        • Returns 1 if this > date. (greater-than)
        • Returns 2 if this <> date. (incomparable)
        Two instances are incomparable if they have different amounts of information.
        Specified by:
        compareToGDate in interface GDateSpecification
        Parameters:
        datespec - the date to compare against
      • canonicalString

        public java.lang.String canonicalString()
        The canonical string representation. Specific moments or times-of-day in a specified timezone are normalized to UTC time to produce a canonical string form for them. Other recurring time specifications keep their timezone information.
        Specified by:
        canonicalString in interface GDateSpecification
      • toString

        public final java.lang.String toString()
        The natural string representation. This represents the information that is available, including timezone. For types that correspond to defined schema types (schemaBuiltinTypeCode() > 0), this provides the natural lexical representation.

        When both time and timezone are specified, this string is not the canonical representation unless the timezone is UTC (Z) (since the same moment in time can be expressed in different timezones). To get a canonical string, use the canonicalString() method.

        Specified by:
        toString in interface GDateSpecification
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
