Hi Stephen, The dateOptionalTimeParser() approach almost does what I want. However, I'd like to enforce/validate the presence of hour/minute/second.
I've come up with the following, does it look correct to you? ---------- public class ExtendedISODateTimeFormat { private static final DateTimeFormatter FORMAT; static { FORMAT = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder() .append(ISODateTimeFormat.date()) .append(literalTElement()) .append(ISODateTimeFormat.hourMinuteSecond()) .appendOptional(fractionElement()) .append(offsetElement()) .toFormatter() .withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC); } public static DateTimeFormatter dateTimeOptionalMillis() { return FORMAT; } private static DateTimeFormatter literalTElement() { return new DateTimeFormatterBuilder().appendLiteral('T').toFormatter(); } private static DateTimeParser fractionElement() { return new DateTimeFormatterBuilder().appendLiteral('.').appendFractionOfSecond(3, 9).toParser(); } private static DateTimeFormatter offsetElement() { return new DateTimeFormatterBuilder().appendTimeZoneOffset("Z", true, 2, 4).toFormatter(); } } ---------- Thanks, -tt On Sat, Jan 21, 2012 at 11:00 PM, Stephen Colebourne <scolebou...@joda.org> wrote: > ISODateTimeFormat.dateOptionalTimeParser() would work wouldn't it? > > New patterns can be created using DateTimeFormatterBuilder, which > supports optional parts. > Stephen > > On 21 January 2012 18:21, Taras Tielkes <taras.tiel...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> If I understand correctly, xsd:dateTime permits, but does not require, >> fractional seconds. >> Is there a formatter/parser in Joda to work with such values? >> >> On ISODateTimeFormat, I see "dateTime()" and "dateTimeNoMillis()", but >> no "dateTimeOptionalMillis()". >> Given how widely used xsd:dateTime is, I wonder if I'm overlooking something? >> >> Is there an easy way to compose such a pattern?
