Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-3125:
------------------------------------
Using the TimeDuration class would be the most appropriate thing to do -
especially since we are building out the HR and Project Management components.
The data type would still be stored as a double - so it is backwards compatible:
{code}
<field-type-def type="duration" sql-type="Double"
java-type="org.ofbiz.base.util.TimeDuration"><validate
method="isSignedDouble"/></field-type-def>
{code}
GenericEntity and ObjectType.simpleTypeConvert(...) can be updated to perform
the various conversions to/from TimeDuration.
Doing it this way might eliminate the need for modifying form widgets and
rendering code. Plus, the framework would make handling time durations easier
by doing conversions automatically.
> Add a duration field type to improve input and representation of durations:
> DurationField, allows to show and input *d *h *m *s *ms

> Key: OFBIZ-3125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3125
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Karim Rahimpur
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> Is there interest in having a field that can parse and display durations
> expressed like these?
> - 10d 5h 6m
> - 6m 45s
> - 1s 145ms
> If so, then I can provide that. We're using this to handle durations as
> humans are used to, instead of having to see and express them in
> milliseconds. E.g. durations used in production runs: an operator knows it
> took so many hours to complete a task but it's uncomfortable to have to
> convert that to milliseconds when you want to store that data.
> So if there is enough interest I could provide a patch that adds a
> DurationField which can be used in forms like shown in these examples:
> - A field that displays a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format - this is a
> substitute for <display/> in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="estimatedSetupMillis"
> title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskEstimatedSetupMillis}">
> <duration disabled="true"/>
> </field>
> {code}
> - A field that allows to input a duration in the *d *h *m *s *ms format -
> this is a substitute for <text/> input in milliseconds:
> {code:xml}
> <field name="actualSetupMillis"
> title="${uiLabelMap.ManufacturingTaskActualSetupMillis}">
> <duration/>
> </field>
> {code}
> Comments are welcome.
