/**
* Time Validation and Conversion routines (java.util.Calendar
).
*
* This validator provides a number of methods for validating/converting
* a String
time value to a java.util.Calendar
using
* java.text.DateFormat
to parse either:
*
* - using the default format for the default
Locale
* - using a specified pattern with the default
Locale
* - using the default format for a specified
Locale
* - using a specified pattern with a specified
Locale
*
*
* For each of the above mechanisms, conversion method (i.e the
* validate
methods) implementations are provided which
* either use the default TimeZone
or allow the
* TimeZone
to be specified.
*
* Use one of the isValid()
methods to just validate or
* one of the validate()
methods to validate and receive a
* converted Calendar
value for the time.
*
* Implementations of the validate()
method are provided
* to create Calendar
objects for different time zones
* if the system default is not appropriate.
*
* Alternatively the CalendarValidator's adjustToTimeZone()
method
* can be used to adjust the TimeZone
of the Calendar
* object afterwards.
*
* Once a value has been successfully converted the following
* methods can be used to perform various time comparison checks:
*
* compareTime()
compares the hours, minutes, seconds
* and milliseconds of two calendars, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first time is equal, before or after the second.
* compareSeconds()
compares the hours, minutes and
* seconds of two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.
* compareMinutes()
compares the hours and minutes
* two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.
* compareHours()
compares the hours
* of two times, returning 0, -1 or +1 indicating
* whether the first is equal to, before or after the second.
*
*
* So that the same mechanism used for parsing an input value
* for validation can be used to format output, corresponding
* format()
methods are also provided. That is you can
* format either:
*
* - using a specified pattern
* - using the format for a specified
Locale
* - using the format for the default
Locale
*
