I got it working again using the code provided by Stephen. The looping was my mistake.
Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Jason Roscoe [mailto:jros...@riteaid.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 7:30 AM To: Discussion of the Joda project Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] previous date Stephen, I changed your "while" to an "if" because with your code, it get's stuck in a loop, and never returns. Any suggestions on how to fix that? Thanks!!! -----Original Message----- From: Jason Roscoe [mailto:jros...@riteaid.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 3:52 PM To: Discussion of the Joda project Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] previous date The code that you gave only gives me 1 day previous, so if I try the below, which sets today's date to 2010-10-01, it is returning to me 2010-09-30, which is 1 day previous. LocalDate today = new LocalDate(2010, 10, 01); //this is a Friday LocalDate circularLinkDate = null; if (today.getDayOfWeek() != DateTimeConstants.TUESDAY) { circularLinkDate = today.minusDays(1); } else { circularLinkDate = today; } return circularLinkDate; So, this logic is still not correct. Any help is greatly appreciated!! -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Colebourne [mailto:scolebou...@joda.org] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 10:10 AM To: Discussion of the Joda project Subject: Re: [Joda-interest] previous date No. The previous Tuesday to a Wednesday is the day before. By subtracting a week, you'll end up 8 days earllier. I suggest writing a little unit test and experimenting to understand what the methods do if the javadoc isn't clear enough.
