Class DateTimeParam

java.lang.Object
  extended by jcmdline.AbstractParameter<java.util.Date>
      extended by jcmdline.DateTimeParam
All Implemented Interfaces:
Parameter<java.util.Date>

public class DateTimeParam
extends AbstractParameter<java.util.Date>

A parameter that accepts a date and time as its value.

The format for the date is taken from the strings ResourceBundle. The format for the time is "HH:mm:ss:SSS", where the seconds and/or milliseconds portion may be left off by the user, in which case they will be defaulted.

Sample Usage:

     DateTimeParam startTimeParam = 
         new DateTimeParam("startTime", 
                           "start time of report", 
                           DateTimeParam.REQUIRED);
     DateTimeParam endTimeParam = 
         new DateTimeParam("endTime", 
                           "end time of report", 
                           DateTimeParam.REQUIRED);
 
     // Seconds and millis for startTime will both be 0 by default.
     // Set the seconds and millis for the end of the report to be the end 
     // of a minute.
     endTimeParam.setDefaultSeconds(59);
     endTimeParam.setDefaultMilliSeconds(999);
 
     CmdLineHandler cl = new DefaultCmdLineHandler(
         "myreport", "generate activity report",
         new Parameter[] {}, 
         new Parameter[] { startTimeParam, endTimeParam });
     
     cl.parse();
 
     // Don't need to check isSet() because params are REQUIRED
     Date stTime = startTimeParam.getValue();
     Date enTime = endTimeParam.getValue();
     .
     .
 
This will result in a command line that may be executed as:
   myreport "09/23/59 10:12" "09/23/59 23:34"
 
or
   myreport "09/23/59 10:12:34:567" "09/23/59 23:34:34:567"
