Created on 9/07/2005

Base class for properties with a DATE or DATE-TIME value. Note that some sub-classes may only allow either a DATE or a DATE-TIME value, for which additional rules/validation should be specified. Note that generics have been introduced as part of the migration to the new Java Date/Time API. Date properties should now indicate the applicable Temporal type for the property. For example:

• UTC-based properties should use Instant to represent UTC time
• Date-only properties should use LocalDate to represent a date value
• Date-time properties should use ZonedDateTime to represent a date-time value influenced by timezone rules

DateProperty

public DateProperty(String name,
                    ParameterList parameters)

Parameters:

name - the property name

parameters - a list of initial parameters

public DateProperty(String name,
                    ParameterList parameters,
                    CalendarDateFormat parseFormat)

Parameters:

name - the property name

Method Detail

getDate

public T getDate()

This method will attempt to dynamically cast the internal Temporal value to the required return value. e.g. LocalDate localDate = dateProperty.getDate();

Returns:

Returns the date.

setDate

public void setDate(T date)

Sets the date value of this property. The timezone and value of this instance will also be updated accordingly.

Parameters:

date - The date to set.

setValue

public void setValue(String value)
              throws DateTimeParseException

Default setValue() implementation. Allows for either DATE or DATE-TIME values. Note that this method will use the system default zone rules to parse the string value. For parsing string values in a different timezone use TemporalAdapter.parse(String, ZoneId) and setDate(Temporal).

Specified by:

setValue in class Property

Parameters:

value - a string representation of a DATE or DATE-TIME value

Throws:

DateTimeParseException

getValue

public String getValue()

Specified by:

getValue in class Content

Returns:

the content value

setTimeZoneRegistry

public void setTimeZoneRegistry(TimeZoneRegistry timeZoneRegistry)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Property

isUtc

public final boolean isUtc()

Indicates whether the current date value is specified in UTC time.

Returns:

true if the property is in UTC time, otherwise false

validate

public void validate()
              throws ValidationException

Perform validation on a property.

Specified by:

validate in class Property

Throws:

ValidationException - where the property is not in a valid state
