Hi,
I'm new to Joda and try to get it adopted in our application.
Legacy code use to set the Date with time being at the last second of a day,
to ensure a consistant behavior when comparing "date only" time with this
date.
To make things clearer, legacy code is crippled with things like that:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy")
cal.setTime(sdf.parse("01/01/2009"));
cal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 23);
cal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 59);
cal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 59);
i'd like to offer a unique function to replace that, using Joda.
I've tried to use the minus(..) methods but to no avail.
Here's what I've tried:
new DateMidnight(2009,1,2).minus(1000);
Looking at the Java doc, I understand it should be exactly equal to
cal.getTime().
However the getDate() methods return January 1st, at Midnight.
Minus doesn't seem to do what it is supposed to.
Obviously I misused it.
Can any one explain me how to work it, and more generally maybe, the fastest
way to get the last second before midnight DateTime of a given day?
rgds,
Jean
