Class AbstractDateTime

java.lang.Object
  com.hp.hpl.jena.datatypes.xsd.AbstractDateTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<AbstractDateTime>

Direct Known Subclasses:

XSDDateTime, XSDDuration

public class AbstractDateTime
extends Object
implements Comparable<AbstractDateTime>

Base class for representation of XSD duration, time, date/time and related datatype instances. We are using the Xerces internal packages for the all heavy lifting which represent date/times using an int array. These wrapper classes just provide more convenient access to the date values.

This class includees code derived from Xerces 2.6.0 Copyright (c) 1999-2002 The Apache Software Foundation. All rights reserved.

Constructor Detail

AbstractDateTime

public AbstractDateTime(Object value)

Constructor

Parameters:

value - the date/time value returned by the parsing

Method Detail

compare

public int compare(AbstractDateTime other)

Comparison function. Not quite the same as normal java compare because XSD date/times are not always comparable.

Parameters:

other - the time/date to compare to

Returns:

an order flag - one of LESS_THAN, EQUAL, GREATER_THEN, INDETERMINATE

compareTo

public int compareTo(AbstractDateTime o)

Normal java comparison function. Treats INDETERMINATE as the same as equals. This is not strictly correct but seems like an appropriate way to handle partially ordered objects.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<AbstractDateTime>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Equality function

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

hash function

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

normalize

public static void normalize(int[] date,
                             int[] timeZone)

If timezone present - normalize dateTime [E Adding durations to dateTimes] Public to allow reuse with type objects.

Parameters:

date - CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss+03
