Hi Doug, I would suggest using the XPath 2.0 expression language that supports many date-time manipulation functions:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#durations-dates-times We use Saxon for the implementation of XPath 2.0, so you can also refer to Saxon's own documentation for function details: http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/functions/intro.html cheers, alex On 1/5/07, Jackson, Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi! I am curious what functions I would use with the Ode bpel engine for some date calculations. In particular I need the following 1. Get the current time of day (hours & minutes) 2. Add/subtract duration to/from the current time of day 3. compare current time of day to another time of day (checking to see if current time is within a time range actually) In general if there is some URL pointing to a specification describing the functions that can be used in xpath expressions within bpel processes I would like to have that. I am not sure as to which one I should refer. Thanks in advance! -Doug.
