Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode	buildAbsoluteNode(long timestamp) Builds an interval node for an absolute interval using this unit and the given timestamp.
String	getUnitNodeName() Returns the node name, i.e.
String	name() Returns this unit's internal name.
Calendar	parseAbsolute(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode node) Parses an absolute date/time into a calendar.

Method Detail

name

String name()

Returns this unit's internal name. This method name is intended to match Enum.name() since implementing classes are meant to be enum.

Returns:

this unit's internal name

buildAbsoluteNode

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode buildAbsoluteNode(long timestamp)

Builds an interval node for an absolute interval using this unit and the given timestamp. Depending on the unit, the resulting node will have different fields set.

Parameters:

timestamp - timestamp to turn into an interval node

Returns:

an interval node for an absolute interval using this unit and the given timestamp

parseAbsolute

Calendar parseAbsolute(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonNode node)

Parses an absolute date/time into a calendar. Fields not set in the unit (e.g. the date part in a time unit) are set to 0.

Parameters:

node - interval node to parse

Returns:

the resulting interval unit

getUnitNodeName

String getUnitNodeName()

Returns the node name, i.e. dateInterval or timeInterval.

Returns:

the node name
