Just found the DateMidnight class, which has solved my problem. FWIW I just create one of those using the year, month and day of each of my two dates, and I now get the right answers.
Cool API :) Richard Gundersen Java Developer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 01618302398 Fax: 01618342536 London Scottish Bank plc 24 Mount Street Manchester M2 3LS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gundersen, Richard Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 12:08 PM To: Discussion of the Joda project Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] daysBetween and Daylight Saving question Actually, I think I can simplify my question somewhat. I just need a method that only takes the day, month and year into account. i.e. as if you have a paper calendar in front of you, and you are just counting the squares between two dates on the calendar. Please help, thanks :) Richard Gundersen Java Developer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 01618302398 Fax: 01618342536 London Scottish Bank plc 24 Mount Street Manchester M2 3LS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gundersen, Richard Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 11:48 AM To: joda-interest@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Joda-interest] daysBetween and Daylight Saving question Hi I can't browse the archives for some reason so sorry if this has already been asked before. I need to count the days between two dates. I'm using the Days class like this days = Days.daysBetween(before, after); Most of the time this works, but sometimes one of the dates I am comparing is in BST, while the other is GMT. So there is an hours difference, and this can give me the wrong result (the number of whole days between e.g. 14:00h Jan 1st (BST) and 14:00h Jan 2nd (GMT) is 11 hours, not 12 so the result is 0, instead of 1. I know Joda is technically correct in the way it handles this, but I want the daysBetween to just count the day, without considering daylight saving. Think of a person entering some data at Midnight on Wednesday BST. I want to convert it back to GMT but without it changing to 11pm Tuesday (so, from the System point of view, yes it's Tuesday, but from the person's point of view they entered it on Wednesday. Something like this would be what I'm after: days = Days.daysBetweenIgnoringDaylightSaving(before, after); Can I achive this kind of thing with Joda?
