java.lang.Object javax.xml.datatype.Duration
public abstract class Duration
Immutable representation of a time span as defined in the W3C XML Schema 1.0 specification.
A Duration object represents a period of Gregorian time, which consists of six fields (years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds) plus a sign (+/-) field.
The first five fields have non-negative (>=0) integers or null (which represents that the field is not set), and the seconds field has a non-negative decimal or null. A negative sign indicates a negative duration.
This class provides a number of methods that make it easy to use for the duration datatype of XML Schema 1.0 with the errata.
Duration objects only have partial order, where two values A and B maybe either:
For example, 30 days cannot be meaningfully compared to one month.
The compare(Duration duration)
method implements this
relationship.
See the isLongerThan(Duration)
method for details about
the order relationship among Duration
objects.
This class provides a set of basic arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction and multiplication. Because durations don't have total order, an operation could fail for some combinations of operations. For example, you cannot subtract 15 days from 1 month. See the javadoc of those methods for detailed conditions where this could happen.
Also, division of a duration by a number is not provided because
the Duration
class can only deal with finite precision
decimal numbers. For example, one cannot represent 1 sec divided by 3.
However, you could substitute a division by 3 with multiplying by numbers such as 0.3 or 0.333.
Because some operations of Duration
rely on Calendar
even though Duration
can hold very large or very small values,
some of the methods may not work correctly on such Duration
s.
The impacted methods document their dependency on Calendar
.

public long getTimeInMillis(java.util.Calendar startInstant)
Returns the length of the duration in milli-seconds.
If the seconds field carries more digits than milli-second order,
those will be simply discarded (or in other words, rounded to zero.)
For example, for any Calendar value x
,
new Duration("PT10.00099S").getTimeInMills(x) == 10000
.new Duration("-PT10.00099S").getTimeInMills(x) == -10000
.
Note that this method uses the addTo(Calendar)
method,
which may work incorrectly with Duration
objects with
very large values in its fields. See the addTo(Calendar)
method for details.
startInstant
- The length of a month/year varies. The startInstant
is
used to disambiguate this variance. Specifically, this method
returns the difference between startInstant
and
startInstant+duration
startInstant
and
startInstant

Returns the length of the duration in milli-seconds.
If the seconds field carries more digits than milli-second order,
those will be simply discarded (or in other words, rounded to zero.)
For example, for any Date
value x
,
new Duration("PT10.00099S").getTimeInMills(x) == 10000

MINUTES, or SECONDS.)
java.lang.NullPointerException
- If the field parameter is null.public abstract Duration add(Duration rhs)
Computes a new duration whose value is this+rhs
.
For example,
"1 day" + "-3 days" = "-2 days" "1 year" + "1 day" = "1 year and 1 day" "-(1 hour,50 minutes)" + "-20 minutes" = "-(1 hours,70 minutes)" "15 hours" + "-3 days" = "-(2 days,9 hours)" "1 year" + "-1 day" = IllegalStateException
Since there's no way to meaningfully subtract 1 day from 1 month,
there are cases where the operation fails in
IllegalStateException
.
Formally, the computation is defined as follows.
Firstly, we can assume that two Duration
s to be added
are both positive without losing generality (i.e.,
(-X)+Y=Y-X
, X+(-Y)=X-Y
,
(-X)+(-Y)=-(X+Y)
)
Addition of two positive Duration
s are simply defined as
field by field addition where missing fields are treated as 0.
A field of the resulting Duration
will be unset if and
only if respective fields of two input Duration
s are unset.
Note that lhs.add(rhs)
will be always successful if
lhs.signum()*rhs.signum()!=-1
or both of them are
normalized.
rhs
- Duration
to add to this Duration
java.lang.NullPointerException
- If the rhs parameter is null.
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- If two durations cannot be meaningfully added. For
example, adding negative one day to one month causes
this exception.subtract(Duration)
public abstract void addTo(java.util.Calendar calendar)
Calendar
object.
Calls Calendar.add(int,int)
in the
order of YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, and MILLISECONDS
if those fields are present. Because the Calendar
class
uses int to hold values, there are cases where this method
won't work correctly (for example if values of fields
exceed the range of int.)
Also, since this duration class is a Gregorian duration, this
method will not work correctly if the given Calendar
object is based on some other calendar systems.
Any fractional parts of this Duration
object
beyond milliseconds will be simply ignored. For example, if
this duration is "P1.23456S", then 1 is added to SECONDS,
234 is added to MILLISECONDS, and the rest will be unused.
Note that because Calendar.add(int, int)
is using
int, Duration
with values beyond the
range of int in its fields
will cause overflow/underflow to the given Calendar
.
XMLGregorianCalendar.add(Duration)
provides the same
basic operation as this method while avoiding
the overflow/underflow issues.
calendar
- A calendar object whose value will be modified.
java.lang.NullPointerException
- if the calendar parameter is null.public void addTo(java.util.Date date)
Date
object.
The given date is first converted into
a GregorianCalendar
, then the duration
is added exactly like the addTo(Calendar)
method.
The updated time instant is then converted back into a
Date
object and used to update the given Date
object.
This somewhat redundant computation is necessary to unambiguously determine the duration of months and years.
date
- A date object whose value will be modified.
java.lang.NullPointerException
- if the date parameter is null.public Duration subtract(Duration rhs)
Computes a new duration whose value is this-rhs
.
For example:
"1 day" - "-3 days" = "4 days" "1 year" - "1 day" = IllegalStateException "-(1 hour,50 minutes)" - "-20 minutes" = "-(1hours,30 minutes)" "15 hours" - "-3 days" = "3 days and 15 hours" "1 year" - "-1 day" = "1 year and 1 day"
Since there's no way to meaningfully subtract 1 day from 1 month,
there are cases where the operation fails in IllegalStateException
.
Formally the computation is defined as follows.
First, we can assume that two Duration
s are both positive
without losing generality. (i.e.,
(-X)-Y=-(X+Y)
, X-(-Y)=X+Y
,
(-X)-(-Y)=-(X-Y)
)
Then two durations are subtracted field by field. If the sign of any non-zero field F is different from the sign of the most significant field, 1 (if F is negative) or -1 (otherwise) will be borrowed from the next bigger unit of F.
This process is repeated until all the non-zero fields have the same sign.
If a borrow occurs in the days field (in other words, if
the computation needs to borrow 1 or -1 month to compensate
days), then the computation fails by throwing an
IllegalStateException
.
rhs
- Duration
to subtract from this Duration
.
Duration
created from subtracting rhs
from this Duration
.
java.lang.IllegalStateException
- If two durations cannot be meaningfully subtracted. For
example, subtracting one day from one month causes
this exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException
- If the rhs parameter is null.add(Duration)
public Duration multiply(int factor)
Computes a new duration whose value is factor
times
longer than the value of this duration.
This method is provided for the convenience. It is functionally equivalent to the following code:
multiply(new BigDecimal(String.valueOf(factor)))
factor
- Factor times longer of new Duration
to create.
Duration
that is factor
times longer than this Duration
.multiply(BigDecimal)
public abstract Duration multiply(java.math.BigDecimal factor)
factor
times
longer than the value of this duration.
For example,
"P1M" (1 month) * "12" = "P12M" (12 months) "PT1M" (1 min) * "0.3" = "PT18S" (18 seconds) "P1M" (1 month) * "1.5" = IllegalStateException
Since the Duration
class is immutable, this method
doesn't change the value of this object. It simply computes
a new Duration object and returns it.
The operation will be performed field by field with the precision
of BigDecimal
. Since all the fields except seconds are
restricted to hold integers,
any fraction produced by the computation will be
carried down toward the next lower unit. For example,
if you multiply "P1D" (1 day) with "0.5", then it will be 0.5 day,
which will be carried down to "PT12H" (12 hours).
When fractions of month cannot be meaningfully carried down
to days, or year to months, this will cause an
IllegalStateException
to be thrown.
For example if you multiple one month by 0.5.
To avoid IllegalStateException
, use
the normalizeWith(Calendar)
method to remove the years
and months fields.

Duration

Converts the years and months fields into the days field by using a specific time instant as the reference point.
For example, duration of one month normalizes to 31 days given the start time instance "July 8th 2003, 17:40:32".
Formally, the computation is done as follows:
