Hi John,
I don't remember if we have something similar in OFBiz, but if not I
think it is a good idea to include it; maybe I'd prefer to include the
commons validator jar (and also the commons math jar
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/math/ would be interesting for reports
etc... but this is anoether subject).
In the meantime, thanks for your ideas and research,
Jacopo

Hi All,
I searched through the code base looking for a simple date comparison
method to compare two dates excluding time. I was unable to find one.
Is there one that I can use?
I want the ability to compare data A to B and determine if it is <, =,
or >. I've writen one, compareDates(Date A, Date B) compares the day,
month and year of two dates, returing 0, -1 or +1 indicating whether
the first date is equal, before or after the second.
If there isn't one, I propose adding my method to the
framework\base\src\base\org\ofbiz\base\util\UtilDateTime.java class.
There is a method in commons validation jar but this jar is not
included in the distro.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/apidocs/org/apache/commons/validator/routines/DateValidator.html
Should we include my method or the commons validator jar?
Thanks,
John
