Class DateComponents

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.time.DateComponents

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DateComponents>

public class DateComponents
extends Object
implements Serializable, Comparable<DateComponents>

Class representing a date broken up as year, month and day components.

This class uses the astronomical convention for calendars, which is also the convention used by java.util.Date: a year zero is present between years -1 and +1, and 10 days are missing in 1582. The calendar used around these special dates are:

• up to 0000-12-31 : proleptic julian calendar
• from 0001-01-01 to 1582-10-04: julian calendar
• from 1582-10-15: gregorian calendar

Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

Field Detail

JULIAN_EPOCH

public static final DateComponents JULIAN_EPOCH

Reference epoch for julian dates: -4712-01-01.

Both java.util.Date and DateComponents classes follow the astronomical conventions and consider a year 0 between years -1 and +1, hence this reference date lies in year -4712 and not in year -4713 as can be seen in other documents or programs that obey a different convention (for example the convcal utility).

Method Detail

createFromWeekComponents

public static DateComponents createFromWeekComponents(int wYear,
                                                      int week,
                                                      int dayOfWeek)
                                               throws IllegalArgumentException

Build a date from week components.

The calendar week number is a number between 1 and 52 or 53 depending on the year. Week 1 is defined by ISO as the one that includes the first Thursday of a year. Week 1 may therefore start the previous year and week 52 or 53 may end in the next year. As an example calendar date 1995-01-01 corresponds to week date 1994-W52-7 (i.e. Sunday in the last week of 1994 is in fact the first day of year 1995). This date would beAnother example is calendar date 1996-12-31 which corresponds to week date 1997-W01-2 (i.e. Tuesday in the first week of 1997 is in fact the last day of year 1996).

Parameters:

wYear - year associated to week numbering

week - week number in year, from 1 to 52 or 53

dayOfWeek - day of week, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday)

Returns:

a builded date

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if inconsistent arguments are given (parameters out of range, week 53 on a 52 weeks year ...)

parseDate

public static DateComponents parseDate(String string)

Parse a string in ISO-8601 format to build a date.

The supported formats are:

• basic format calendar date: YYYYMMDD
• extended format calendar date: YYYY-MM-DD
• basic format ordinal date: YYYYDDD
• extended format ordinal date: YYYY-DDD
• basic format week date: YYYYWwwD
• extended format week date: YYYY-Www-D

As shown by the list above, only the complete representations defined in section 4.1 of ISO-8601 standard are supported, neither expended representations nor representations with reduced accuracy are supported.

Parsing a single integer as a julian day is not supported as it may be ambiguous with either the basic format calendar date or the basic format ordinal date depending on the number of digits.

Parameters:

string - string to parse

Returns:

a parsed date

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if string cannot be parsed

getYear

getMJD

public int getMJD()

Get the modified julian day.

Returns:

modified julian day

getCalendarWeek

public int getCalendarWeek()

Get the calendar week number.

The calendar week number is a number between 1 and 52 or 53 depending on the year. Week 1 is defined by ISO as the one that includes the first Thursday of a year. Week 1 may therefore start the previous year and week 52 or 53 may end in the next year. As an example calendar date 1995-01-01 corresponds to week date 1994-W52-7 (i.e. Sunday in the last week of 1994 is in fact the first day of year 1995). Another example is calendar date 1996-12-31 which corresponds to week date 1997-W01-2 (i.e. Tuesday in the first week of 1997 is in fact the last day of year 1996).
