Try using the Period constructor that accepts a PeriodType.
/**
* Creates a period from the given interval endpoints.
*
* @param startInstant interval start, in milliseconds
* @param endInstant interval end, in milliseconds
* @param type which set of fields this period supports, null means
standard
*/
public Period(long startInstant, long endInstant, PeriodType type)

Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] Misunderstanding Period Class.
Well, using this particular example, all the toStandardXXX methods are
throwing exceptions because of the presence of years in the Period, as the
Javadocs state. So is there a way around this, ie to convert a period of
months/years into minutes/hours etc?
Thanks,

Because the getXXX methods just return that FIELD of time. If you want the
computed time, you need the toStandardXXX method.

Hi all,
I'm trying this simple example to understand the Period class.
Why does the getDays() method return 0, instead of 472?
Thanks,

DateTime start = new DateTime(2004, 12, 25, 0, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime end = new DateTime(2006, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);
// period of 1 year and 7 days
Period period = new Period(start, end);
System.out.println(period.getDays()); // Returns 0
