All,
The user guide suggests that ReadableInstant has a method called
toDateTime:
For maximum flexibility however, you might choose to declare your
method parameters using the Joda-Time interface. A method on the
interface can obtain the concrete class for use within the method.
public void process(ReadableInstant instant) {
DateTime dt = instant.toDateTime();
}
This is, in fact, what I'm trying to do. I've defined my API to
accept ReadableInstant. But sometimes I really do want to access
fields, so I want to be able to do toDateTime on it. But that method
is not present in ReadableInstant.
At first, I thought that it was because Instant doesn't "know" about
DateTime, which is further down the class hierarchy. But then I
noticed that Instant *does* have a toDateTime method.
Can we please have toDateTime in ReadableInstant?
This change would enable API designers to accept ReadableInstant, as
in the user guide example, and convert it to a DateTime for local
use, without having to pay a performance penalty for instantiating a
new DateTime, in the likely event that the object ReadableInstant
instance is already a DateTime, since DateTime.toDateTime returns this.
Thanks,
W
