Add DateUtils methods to implement before and after time-insensitive
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-400
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-400
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: Paul Benedict
Fix For: 2.4
The JDK contains Date.before() and Date.after() but no time-insensitive
versions exist. I am typically in the situation where TIMESTAMP columns are
converted into Date instances and I need to compare dates only for business
rules.
I propose to complete DateUtils.isSameDay:
DateUtils.isBeforeDay
DateUtils.isAfterDay
My private implementations convert Date to Calendar, zero-out the time
elements, and then compare.
PS: I would also deprecate isSameXXX methods in 2.4 and rename it to isEqualXXX
since sameness usually implies instance equality, rather than object equality.
