Hi!

I have never seen this before, but wikipedia says
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Times
        2010-05-01 24:00:00 equal to 2010-05-02 00:00:00 
And I would also consider that
        2010-05-01 25:00:00 equal to 2010-05-02 01:00:00 

This looks a bit tricky :). If there was a formatter for it, parsing and then 
printing might result in different strings. The question is: How does the 
formatter know when to use 2010-05-01 24:00:00 instead of 2010-05-02 00:00:00 
when printing.

Just parsing is not that difficult.
Replace 240000 with 000000, and then plusDays(1)

Ämne: Re: [Joda-interest] Parsing 'end of day' time 240000

Hi Rob,

We're processing data coming in from the gas/electricity and they use 000000 to 
signify the start of the day and 240000 to signify the end of the day.

I'd never seen it myself before now but on reading up on it here 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock and here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 it does seem to be a valid time.

I have tried using 'kk' in the format string but that rules out 000000 and 
anyway 24 is only supposed to be valid in the above if the minutes and seconds 
part are zero.

Stephen

I'd have thought that 000000 and 240000 represent exactly the same thing

so I'm guessing that's why Joda Time won't accept 240000. I'd have thought that 
midnight is 000000 and the second before that was 235959 or

am I missing something?
