Interface WallTime

All Known Implementing Classes:

PlainTime, PlainTimestamp

public interface WallTime

Defines a wall time on an analogue clock conforming to ISO-8601 in the range T00:00:00 - T24:00:00.

Note: Implementations must document if they support the special value T24:00:00 or not. This value denotes midnight at the end of the day, that is midnight T00:00 at the begin of the following day.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getHour() Yields the hour of day.
int	getMinute() Liefert die Minute (der aktuellen Stunde).
int	getNanosecond() Yields the nanosecond.
int	getSecond() Yields the second of minute.
java.lang.String	toString() Yields a canonical representation in ISO-format "Thh:mm" or "Thh:mm:ss".

Method Detail

getHour

int getHour()

Yields the hour of day.

Returns:

hour in range 0 - 24 (the value 24 is only allowed if minute and second have the value 0)

getMinute

int getMinute()

Liefert die Minute (der aktuellen Stunde).

Returns:

minute in range 0 - 59

getSecond

int getSecond()

Yields the second of minute.

Given this context and the fact that this interface describes an analogue clock without UTC reference, the special leapsecond value 60 cannot be supported.

Returns:

second in range 0 - 59

getNanosecond

int getNanosecond()

Yields the nanosecond.

Implementations which are not capable of nanosecond precision will just yield 0 or another suitable rounded value.

Returns:

nanosecond in range 0 - 999,999,999

toString

java.lang.String toString()

Yields a canonical representation in ISO-format "Thh:mm" or "Thh:mm:ss".

If this object also knows subseconds then a fractional part of second part is possible.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

wall time in ISO-8601 format
