I'm working on the revamped DhlService class for the Out of Origin functionality and came across the need for a date comparison method. I've searched throughout the code for a method that can compare two dates to determine if date A is <, = or > than date B. The method must disregard the time component of the date.
Is there such a method in the framework? I've written a simple method compareDates(java.util.Date, java.util.Date) that I think could be added to the DateTimeUtil class but wanted some feedback first. The other thought is that the Jakarta org.apache.commons.validator.routines.DateValidator.DateValidator.compareDates() method does the same thing. This would mean pulling in the commons.validator package. Thanks, John
