Hello all- I'm interested in using Joda in a project where we have some specific calendar requirements, and I've been going through the Java Docs but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right places to determine whether what I want to do is feasible or not.
Basically, I want to create a "business" calendar that calculates dates based on days of the week, excluding holidays and weekends; thus if today is Friday, 2 days from now is Tuesday in this particular calendar. What would also be nice is some way to also feed it specific holidays so that they would not be considered when calculating date ranges. I know I could create my own calendar class that does all this, but I don't want to have to provide a facade and suddenly be responsible for providing methods for all the functions in the member DateTime class. I was looking at the Chronology and derived classes as a way of doing it, considering that's how the various built-in chronologies (Buddhist, Islamic, etc.) do it, and even the docs suggest this is possible (it mentions a WeirdChronology with a week of 10 days and a month of 40 days), but it doesn't mention any particular strategies for doing this. Might anyone have any tips, suggestions, etc., on how to write a custom Chronology class?
