It would be nice to have:
<adjust-date-time field="tomorrowDate" from-field="nowTimestamp"
days="+1"/>
<format-date field="tomorrowName" from-field="tomorrowDate" format="EEEE"/>
<log level="always" message="Tomorrow is ${tomorrowName}"/>
Output:
"Tomorrow is Wednesday"

Keep in mind there are additional outputs that one might want from date/time
math. Weekday of first of month, week of year, etc. I'm lacking moments of
inspiration on the subject at the moment, so I'll just put that out there for
now instead of offering a solution :P

Adrian,
looks pretty good.
One small suggestion: use "field" instead of "to-field" to use the same
convention of the set operator:
<adjust-date-time field="toDate" from-field="fromDate"
years="+1" months="+1" ... millis="+1"
locale="parameters.locale" time-zone="parameters.timeZone"/>

Thanks Jacques.
I've been thinking about this a little, and here is my suggestion:
<adjust-date-time from-field="fromDate" to-field="toDate"
years="+1" months="+1" ... millis="+1"
locale="parameters.locale" time-zone="parameters.timeZone"/>
The to-field attribute would be optional, as well as any of the
adjusters. An <adjust-date-time> element that has no adjusters
produces
an error.
Adjustments would be performed using the minilang context's locale
and
time zone, unless the locale and time-zone attributes are used.
Any thoughts?

I put your comment and Chris's in the issue. Hopefully Fabien will
take care of it (propose somehting), else we will see later...

I agree with Chris. I haven't looked at the issue lately, but when
I
first looked at it, it simply performed millisecond
arithmetic. That might not be the expected behavior.
Date calculation would be a great addition to mini language. Maybe
we
should discuss how it would look in mini lang code, then an
implementation could be submitted.

Interesting remark, seems that the disussion begins to roll...

This really needs to go through a Calendar object instead of being
cast to a long. Also, I don't think the current
element structure is best suited for the operations that would be
most beneficial for date/time calculations

Subject: Calculate on a DATE object in minilang
Hi All,
3 months ago Fabien Carrion has contribued some interesting
patches.
One of them is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1249
David asked <
do a design and requirements brainstorming discussion on the dev
list
before putting this in.
The main thing I'm wondering is if there are other similar
requirements
that could be satisfied by small changes in the design of this.>>
I would like to commit this patch now except if we begin to
exchange
about new requirements per David suggestion
Thanks
Jacques
