    public abstract class DateTimeSyntax
    extends Object
    implements Serializable, Cloneable
    
    Class DateTimeSyntax is an abstract base class providing the common implementation of all attributes whose value is a date and time.

    Under the hood, a date-time attribute is stored as a value of class java.util.Date. You can get a date-time attribute's Date value by calling getValue(). A date-time attribute's Date value is established when it is constructed (see DateTimeSyntax(Date)). Once constructed, a date-time attribute's value is immutable.

    To construct a date-time attribute from separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, use a java.util.Calendar object to construct a java.util.Date object, then use the java.util.Date object to construct the date-time attribute. To convert a date-time attribute to separate values of the year, month, day, hour, minute, and so on, create a java.util.Calendar object and set it to the java.util.Date from the date-time attribute. Class DateTimeSyntax stores its value in the form of a java.util.Date rather than a java.util.Calendar because it typically takes less memory to store and less time to compare a java.util.Date than a java.util.Calendar.

constructor:<init>(java.util.Date) [NONE]

  • DateTimeSyntax

    protected DateTimeSyntax​(Date value)
    Construct a new date-time attribute with the given java.util.Date value.
    Parameters:
    value - java.util.Date value
    Throws:
    NullPointerException - if value is null

method:getValue() [NONE]

  • getValue

    public Date getValue()
    Returns this date-time attribute's java.util.Date value.
    Returns:
    the Date

method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]

  • equals

    public boolean equals​(Object object)
    Returns whether this date-time attribute is equivalent to the passed in object. To be equivalent, all of the following conditions must be true:
    1. object is not null.
    2. object is an instance of class DateTimeSyntax.
    3. This date-time attribute's java.util.Date value and object's java.util.Date value are equal.
    Overrides:
    equals in class Object
    Parameters:
    object - Object to compare to
    Returns:
    true if object is equivalent to this date-time attribute, false otherwise

    Object.hashCode(), HashMap

method:hashCode() [NONE]

method:toString() [NONE]

  • toString

    public String toString()
    Returns a string value corresponding to this date-time attribute. The string value is just this attribute's java.util.Date value converted to a string.
    Overrides:
    toString in class Object
    Returns:
    a string representation of the object.
