Class CIMDateTimeInterval

public class CIMDateTimeInterval extends CIMDateTime implements Serializable

The CIMDateTimeInterval class is modeled on the datetime data type as specified in the CIM specification.
It is in the format: ddddddddHHMMSS.mmmmmm:000
For example, an elapsed time of 1 day, 13 hours, 23 minutes, 12 seconds would be: 00000001132312.000000:000 A UTC offset of zero is always used for interval properties.
Fields that are not significant MUST be replaced with asterisk ("*") characters. Not significant fields are those that are beyond the resolution of the data source. This is used to indicate the precision of the value and can only be done for an adjacent set of fields, starting with the least significant field (mmmmmm), and continuing to more significant fields. The granularity of using asterisks is always the entire field, except for the mmmmmm field where the granularity is single digits. The UTC offset field MUST NOT contain asterisks.
For example, if an interval of 1 day, 13 hours, 23 minutes, 12 seconds, and 125 milliseconds was measured with a precision of 1 millisecond, the format would be: 00000001132312.125***:000.

Constructor Detail

CIMDateTimeInterval

public CIMDateTimeInterval(int pDays, int pHours, int pMinutes, int pSeconds, int pMicroseconds)
Constructs a CIMDateTimeInterval using the individual values of the interval (day, hours, minutes, seconds and microseconds). Any property that has a -1 will consider that field "not significant" (i.e. that field has asterisks in the DateTime string).

Parameters: pDays - number of days in the interval (-1 - 99999999) pHours - number of hours in the interval (-1 - 24) pMinutes - number of minutes in the interval (-1 - 60) pSeconds - number of seconds in the interval (-1 - 60) pMicroseconds - number of microseconds in the interval (-1 - 999999)

Throws: IllegalArgumentException

CIMDateTimeInterval

public CIMDateTimeInterval(long pMilliseconds)
Constructs a CIMDateTimeInterval using a milliseconds value.

Parameters: pMilliseconds - number of milliseconds in the interval (0 - 999999)

Throws: IllegalArgumentException

CIMDateTimeInterval

public CIMDateTimeInterval(String pIntervalString)
Creates a CIMDateTimeInterval object using a string.

Parameters: pIntervalString - A string in the format of ddddddddHHMMSS.mmmmmm:000

Throws: IllegalArgumentException - if string is not in the correct format

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)
Compares the CIMDateTimeInterval object with this one. If either interval has "Not Significant" fields then we only compare the significant fields.

Parameters: o - The CIMDateTimeInterval to be compared with this one.

Returns: -1, zero, or 1 as this interval is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified interval.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException - If the object passed in is not an instance of CIMDataTimeInterval.

getDateTimeString

public String getDateTimeString()
Gets the internal string representation of this object.

Returns: The internal representation of the CIMDateTimeInterval object.

See Also: getDateTimeString

getDays

public int getDays()
Returns days value of this interval.

Returns: If days field "not significant" this returns -1, otherwise returns number of days in the interval.

getHours

public int getHours()
Returns hours value of this interval.

Returns: If hours field "not significant" this returns -1, otherwise returns number of hours in the interval.

getMicroseconds

public int getMicroseconds()
Returns microseconds value of this interval.

Returns: If microseconds field "not significant" this returns -1, otherwise returns number of microseconds in the interval.

getMinutes

public int getMinutes()
Returns minutes value of this interval.

Returns: If minutes field "not significant" this returns -1, otherwise returns number of minutes in the interval.

getSeconds

public int getSeconds()
Returns seconds value of this interval.

Returns: If seconds field "not significant" this returns -1, otherwise returns number of seconds in the interval.

getTotalMilliseconds

public long getTotalMilliseconds()
Returns the total length of the interval in milliseconds.

Returns: The length of the interval in milliseconds.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns the hashcode for this object.

Returns: A hashcode value for this object.

See Also: java.lang.Object#hashCode()

toString

public String toString()
Returns a String representation of the CIMDateTimeInterval. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Returns: String representation of this datetime.
