Constructor Detail

Iso8601Converter

protected Iso8601Converter(ValueInfo isoInfo,
                           ValueInfo numInfo)

Constructor.

Parameters:

isoInfo - input value metadata (describing ISO-8601 strings)

numInfo - output value metadata (describing numeric date)

Method Detail

getInputInfo

public ValueInfo getInputInfo()

Description copied from interface: ValueConverter

Returns metadata describing the values on the input end of the conversion.

Specified by:

getInputInfo in interface ValueConverter

Returns:

input info

getOutputInfo

public ValueInfo getOutputInfo()

Description copied from interface: ValueConverter

Returns metadata describing the values on the output end of the conversion.

Specified by:

getOutputInfo in interface ValueConverter

Returns:

output info

convert

public Object convert(Object in)

Description copied from interface: ValueConverter

Performs a conversion from the input type to the output type. In general if the conversion cannot be done, a null value should be returned rather than throwing an unchecked exception.

Specified by:

convert in interface ValueConverter

Parameters:

in - object of input type

Returns:

corresponding object of output type

unconvert

public Object unconvert(Object out)

Description copied from interface: ValueConverter

Performs a reverse conversion, from the output type to the input type. In general if the conversion cannot be done, a null value should be returned rather than throwing an unchecked exception.

Specified by:

unconvert in interface ValueConverter

Parameters:

out - object of output type

Returns:

corresponding object of input type

toMjd

protected abstract double toMjd(double number)

Converts from this converter's public date value to Modified Julian Date.

Parameters:

number - date value

Returns:

date as MJD

fromMjd

protected abstract double fromMjd(double mjd)

Converts from Modified Julian Date to this converter's public date.

Parameters:

mjd - date as MJD

Returns:

date value

dateToMjd

protected static double dateToMjd(int year,
                                  int month,
                                  int day,
                                  int hour,
                                  int min,
                                  double sec)

Converts a calendar date and time to Modified Julian Date.

Parameters:

year - year AD

month - index of month; January is 1, December is 12

day - day of month (the first day is 1)

hour - hour (0-23)

min - minute (0-59)

sec - second (0<=sec<60)

Returns:

modified Julian date corresponding to arguments

unixMillisToMjd

protected static double unixMillisToMjd(long unixMillis)

Converts from milliseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00) to a modified Julian date value

Parameters:

unixMillis - milliseconds since the Unix epoch

Returns:

modified Julian date

mjdToUnixMillis

public static long mjdToUnixMillis(double mjd)

Converts from modified Julian date to milliseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00).

Parameters:

mjd - modified Julian date

Returns:

milliseconds since the Unix epoch

getKit

protected static Iso8601Converter.DateKit getKit()

Returns a date kit private to the calling thread.

Returns:

date kit
