I'm keeping this thread alive because I have a wish to see the
<set-calendar> (or <adjust-date-time>) operation implemented: in fact in
the Minilang service I've committed yesterday to close a financial time
period we have the requirement to get a Timestamp (older than an
existing one of a few seconds).
I'm wondering if someone here could help with this task... maybe Adrian
"The Lord Of Time" Crum? ;-)

I just had a cursory review, yes seems like a good idea. I agree with Adrian
view : rely on joda team as possible. And maybe help
them also, though joda looks like being already very well advanced.
+1 for me

Or, at least provide a better starting point then the java date stuff :)

Jim,
That looks very interesting! We already have the UtilDateTime class that does
pretty much the same
thing. I'll take a look at it - there's a chance we can eliminate a lot of
OFBiz code by going with
the joda-time code.

What about wrapping joda time (joda-time.sourceforge.net) up in mini-lang?

Keep in mind there are additional outputs that one might want from date/time
math. Weekday of first of month, week of year,
etc. I'm lacking moments of inspiration on the subject at the moment, so I'll
just put that out there for now instead of offering a
solution :P

Adrian,
looks pretty good.
One small suggestion: use "field" instead of "to-field" to use the same
convention of the set operator:
<adjust-date-time field="toDate" from-field="fromDate"
years="+1" months="+1" ... millis="+1"
locale="parameters.locale" time-zone="parameters.timeZone"/>

Thanks Jacques.
I've been thinking about this a little, and here is my suggestion:
<adjust-date-time from-field="fromDate" to-field="toDate"
years="+1" months="+1" ... millis="+1"
locale="parameters.locale" time-zone="parameters.timeZone"/>
The to-field attribute would be optional, as well as any of the
adjusters. An <adjust-date-time> element that has no adjusters
produces
an error.
Adjustments would be performed using the minilang context's locale
and
time zone, unless the locale and time-zone attributes are used.
Any thoughts?

Thanks Adrian,
I put your comment and Chris's in the issue. Hopefully Fabien will
take care of it (propose somehting), else we will see later...

I agree with Chris. I haven't looked at the issue lately, but when
I
first looked at it, it simply performed millisecond
arithmetic. That might not be the expected behavior.
Date calculation would be a great addition to mini language. Maybe
we
should discuss how it would look in mini lang code, then an
implementation could be submitted.

Interesting remark, seems that the disussion begins to roll...

This really needs to go through a Calendar object instead of being
cast to a long. Also, I don't think the current
element structure is best suited for the operations that would be
most beneficial for date/time calculations

Subject: Calculate on a DATE object in minilang
Hi All,
3 months ago Fabien Carrion has contribued some interesting
patches.
One of them is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1249
David asked <
do a design and requirements brainstorming discussion on the dev
list
before putting this in.
The main thing I'm wondering is if there are other similar
requirements
that could be satisfied by small changes in the design of this.>>
I would like to commit this patch now except if we begin to
exchange
about new requirements per David suggestion
Thanks
Jacques
