Class AbsoluteInterval<U extends IntervalUnit>

java.lang.Object

com.belladati.sdk.intervals.Interval<U>

com.belladati.sdk.intervals.AbsoluteInterval<U>

public class AbsoluteInterval<U extends IntervalUnit>
extends Interval<U>

An absolute date or time interval. Absolute intervals start and end at a specific, fixed date or time.

Note that even though start and end of the interval are specified as whole dates, the relevant portion is determined by the interval unit.
For example, creating an instance using DateUnit.MONTH from 2014-01-04 to 2014-03-08 will result in an interval including the whole months of January through March, i.e. from 2014-01-01 to 2014-03-31.
