Niall Pemberton updated LANG-59:
--------------------------------
Attachment: lang_issue_59.txt
The problem seems to be with java.util.Calendar - as soon as it re-calculates
the milliseconds it adjusts the time - even if you set a field without actually
changing the value(i.e. set it to the same value) the same thing happens - it
adds an hour to the time (see test case which demonstrates this).
I'm attaching a pragmatic, but not very elegant solution that works for
truncating (and rounding down) - rather than using the Calendar methods to
adjust milliseconds, seconds and minutes it adjusts the Date's millisecond
value directly. Its only fields down to the "hour" level that affect the date -
so truncating milliseconds, seconds and minutes should work fine since they
will still be the same date. Combined with Li Zhang's suggestion of only
setting fields which have changed - this seems to work.

> Try to truncate 2004-10-31 01:00:00 MDT by hour and you'll actually get
> 2004-10-
> 31 01:00:00 MST, which is one hour after the input hour.
> // truncate 2004-10-31 01:00:00 MDT
> Date oct31_01MDT = new Date(1099206000000L);
> Date result = DateUtils.truncate(oct31_01MDT, Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
> assertEquals(oct31_01MDT, result);
