Gary Gregory commented on LANG-335: ----------------------------------- Would Joda-TIme help here? > Comparisons of Dates and Calendars to second precision > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LANG-335 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-335 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 2.3 > Environment: Windows, JDK 1.6.0, Eclipse 3.2 > Reporter: Alex Marshall > Priority: Trivial > > The o.a.c.lang.time.DateUtils should have functions for comparing dates and > Calendars to only second precision instead of millisecond. The motivation > for this is comparison of dates and Calendars in objects both before and > after the objects have been committed to and retrieved from a database. In > theory the objects should be equal if 'equals' is run on them, but in > practice they are not because the date fields do not have exactly the same > millisecond values after they've been persisted to a database since times in > many databases are only maintained to second-level precision (and without > TimeZone information in many cases, to boot!) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
