public class CalendarValidator extends AbstractCalendarValidator
Calendar Validation and Conversion routines (java.util.Calendar).
This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting
a String date value to a java.util.Calendar using
java.text.DateFormat to parse either:
LocaleLocaleLocaleLocaleFor each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (i.e the
validate methods) implementations are provided which
either use the default TimeZone or allow the
TimeZone to be specified.
Use one of the isValid() methods to just validate or
one of the validate() methods to validate and receive a
converted Calendar value.
Implementations of the validate() method are provided
to create Calendar objects for different time zones
if the system default is not appropriate.
Alternatively the CalendarValidator's adjustToTimeZone() method
can be used to adjust the TimeZone of the Calendar
object afterwards.
Once a value has been successfully converted the following methods can be used to perform various date comparison checks:
compareDates() compares the day, month and
year of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
whether the first date is equal, before or after the second.compareWeeks() compares the week and
year of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
whether the first week is equal, before or after the second.compareMonths() compares the month and
year of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
whether the first month is equal, before or after the second.compareQuarters() compares the quarter and
year of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
whether the first quarter is equal, before or after the second.compareYears() compares the
year of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
whether the first year is equal, before or after the second.So that the same mechanism used for parsing an input value
for validation can be used to format output, corresponding
format() methods are also provided. That is you can
format either:
