Class XMLGregorianCalendar
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable
Representation for W3C XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatypes.
Specifically, these date/time datatypes are
DatatypeConstants.DATETIME,
DatatypeConstants.TIME,
DatatypeConstants.DATE,
DatatypeConstants.GYEARMONTH,
DatatypeConstants.GMONTHDAY,
DatatypeConstants.GYEAR,
DatatypeConstants.GMONTH, and
DatatypeConstants.GDAY
defined in the XML Namespace
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema".
These datatypes are normatively defined in
W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Section 3.2.7-14.
The table below defines the mapping between XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatype fields and this class' fields. It also summarizes the value constraints for the date and time fields defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D, ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats.
| XML Schema 1.0 datatype field |
Related XMLGregorianCalendar Accessor(s) |
Value Range |
|---|---|---|
| year | getYear() + getEon() orgetEonAndYear()
|
getYear() is a value between -(10^9-1) to (10^9)-1
or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED.getEon() is high order year value in billion of years.getEon() has values greater than or equal to (10^9) or less than or equal to -(10^9).
A value of null indicates field is undefined.Given that XML Schema 1.0 errata states that the year zero will be a valid lexical value in a future version of XML Schema, this class allows the year field to be set to zero. Otherwise, the year field value is handled exactly as described in the errata and [ISO-8601-1988]. Note that W3C XML Schema 1.0 validation does not allow for the year field to have a value of zero. |
| month | getMonth() |
1 to 12 or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED |
| day | getDay() |
Independent of month, max range is 1 to 31 or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED.The normative value constraint stated relative to month field's value is in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D. |
| hour | getHour() |
0 to 23 or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED.
An hour value of 24 is allowed to be set in the lexical space provided the minute and second
field values are zero. However, an hour value of 24 is not allowed in value space and will be
transformed to represent the value of the first instance of the following day as per
XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, 3.2 Primitive datatypes.
|
| minute | getMinute() |
0 to 59 or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED |
| second |
getSecond() + getMillisecond()/1000 orgetSecond() + getFractionalSecond()
|
getSecond() from 0 to 60 or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED.(Note: 60 only allowable for leap second.) getFractionalSecond() allows for infinite precision over the range from 0.0 to 1.0 when
the getSecond() is defined.FractionalSecond is optional and has a value of null when it is undefined.getMillisecond() is the convenience
millisecond precision of value of getFractionalSecond().
|
| timezone | getTimezone() |
Number of minutes or DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED.
Value range from -14 hours (-14 * 60 minutes) to 14 hours (14 * 60 minutes).
|
All maximum value space constraints listed for the fields in the table
above are checked by factory methods, DatatypeFactory,
setter methods and parse methods of
this class. IllegalArgumentException is thrown when a
parameter's value is outside the value constraint for the field or
if the composite
values constitute an invalid XMLGregorianCalendar instance (for example, if
the 31st of June is specified).
The following operations are defined for this class:
- accessors/mutators for independent date/time fields
- conversion between this class and W3C XML Schema 1.0 lexical representation,
toString(),DatatypeFactory.newXMLGregorianCalendar(String lexicalRepresentation) - conversion between this class and
GregorianCalendar,toGregorianCalendar(java.util.TimeZone timezone, java.util.Locale aLocale, XMLGregorianCalendar defaults),DatatypeFactory - partial order relation comparator method,
compare(XMLGregorianCalendar xmlGregorianCalendar) equals(Object)defined relative tocompare(XMLGregorianCalendar xmlGregorianCalendar).- addition operation with
Durationinstance as defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix E, Adding durations to dateTimes.

dateTimefields to this class' representation of those fields.- Parameters:
duration- Duration to add to thisXMLGregorianCalendar.- Throws:
NullPointerException- whendurationparameter isnull.
-
toGregorianCalendar
Convert thisXMLGregorianCalendarto aGregorianCalendar.When
thisinstance has an undefined field, this conversion relies on thejava.util.GregorianCalendardefault for its corresponding field. A notable difference between XML Schema 1.0 date/time datatypes andjava.util.GregorianCalendaris that Timezone value is optional for date/time datatypes and it is a required field forjava.util.GregorianCalendar. See javadoc forjava.util.TimeZone.getDefault()on how the default is determined. To explicitly specify theTimeZoneinstance, seetoGregorianCalendar(TimeZone, Locale, XMLGregorianCalendar).

toGregorianCalendar
public abstract GregorianCalendar toGregorianCalendar(TimeZone timezone, Locale aLocale, XMLGregorianCalendar defaults) Convert thisXMLGregorianCalendaralong with provided parameters to aGregorianCalendarinstance.Since XML Schema 1.0 date/time datetypes has no concept of timezone ids or daylight savings timezone ids, this conversion operation allows the user to explicitly specify one with
timezoneparameter.To compute the return value's
TimeZonefield,- when parameter
timeZoneis non-null, it is the timezone field. - else when
this.getTimezone() != FIELD_UNDEFINED, create ajava.util.TimeZonewith a custom timezone id using thethis.getTimezone(). - else when
defaults.getTimezone() != FIELD_UNDEFINED, create ajava.util.TimeZonewith a custom timezone id usingdefaults.getTimezone(). - else use the
GregorianCalendardefault timezone value for the host is defined as specified byjava.util.TimeZone.getDefault().
To ensure consistency in conversion implementations, the new
GregorianCalendarshould be instantiated in following manner.- Create a new
java.util.GregorianCalendar(TimeZone, Locale)with TimeZone set as specified above and theLocaleparameter. - Initialize all GregorianCalendar fields by calling
Calendar.clear() - Obtain a pure Gregorian Calendar by invoking
GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange( new Date(Long.MIN_VALUE)). - Its fields ERA, YEAR, MONTH, DAY_OF_MONTH, HOUR_OF_DAY,
MINUTE, SECOND and MILLISECOND are set using the method
Calendar.set(int,int)
- Parameters:
timezone- provide Timezone.nullis a legal value.aLocale- provide explicit Locale. Use default GregorianCalendar locale if value isnull.defaults- provide default field values to use when corresponding field for this instance is FIELD_UNDEFINED or null. Ifdefaultsisnullor a field within the specifieddefaultsis undefined, just usejava.util.GregorianCalendardefaults.- Returns:
- a java.util.GregorianCalendar conversion of this instance.
- when parameter
-
getTimeZone
Returns ajava.util.TimeZonefor this class.If timezone field is defined for this instance, returns TimeZone initialized with custom timezone id of zoneoffset. If timezone field is undefined, try the defaultZoneoffset that was passed in. If defaultZoneoffset is FIELD_UNDEFINED, return default timezone for this host. (Same default as java.util.GregorianCalendar).
