GDuration (XMLBeans 4.0.0 Documentation)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.xmlbeans.GDuration

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, GDurationSpecification
```
public final class GDuration
extends Object
implements GDurationSpecification, Serializable
```
Represents an XML Schema-compatible duration.
A duration is made up of a number of years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and fractions of seconds. See the XML Schema specification section on xs:duration for details on the rules for comparing durations and adding durations to dates.

  - GDuration
```
public GDuration()
```
    Constructs an empty GDuration representing zero seconds.
  - GDuration
```
public GDuration(CharSequence str)
```
    Constructs a GDuration from a lexical representation. The lexical space contains the union of the lexical spaces of all the schema date/time types (except for duration).
  - GDuration
```
public GDuration(int sign,
                 int year,
                 int month,

                 int minute,
                 int second,
                 BigDecimal fraction)
```
    Constructs a GDuration with the specified sign, year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, and optional fractional seconds.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sign - +1 for a positive duration, -1 for a negative duration
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the sign is not 1 or -1
  - GDuration
```
public GDuration(GDurationSpecification gDuration)
```
    Constructs a GDuration from another GDurationSpecification.
- Method Detail
  - clone
```
public Object clone()
```
    Builds another GDate with the same value as this one.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
  - isImmutable
```
public final boolean isImmutable()
```
    All GDuration instances return true.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isImmutable in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getSign
```
public final int getSign()
```

    Specified by:
    
    getSign in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getYear
```
public final int getYear()
```
    Gets the year component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getYear in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getMonth
```
public final int getMonth()
```
    Gets the month-of-year component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMonth in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getDay
```
public final int getDay()
```
    Gets the day-of-month component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDay in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getHour
```
public final int getHour()
```
    Gets the hour-of-day component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getHour in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getMinute
```
public final int getMinute()
```
    Gets the minute-of-hour component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getMinute in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getSecond
```
public final int getSecond()
```
    Gets the second-of-minute component.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSecond in interface GDurationSpecification
  - getFraction
```
public BigDecimal getFraction()
```
    Gets the fraction-of-second. Range from 0 (inclusive) to 1 (exclusive).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getFraction in interface GDurationSpecification
  - isValid
```
public boolean isValid()
```
    Returns true if all of the individual components of the duration are nonnegative.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isValid in interface GDurationSpecification
  - compareToGDuration
```
public final int compareToGDuration(GDurationSpecification duration)
```
    Comparison to another GDuration.
    - Returns -1 if this < duration. (less-than)
    - Returns 0 if this == duration. (equal)
    - Returns 1 if this > duration. (greater-than)
    - Returns 2 if this <> duration. (incomparable)
    Two instances are incomparable if they have different amounts of information.
    Specified by:
    
    compareToGDuration in interface GDurationSpecification
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    The natural string representation of the duration.
    Any components that are zero are omitted. Note that if the duration is invalid, i.e., it has negative components, those negative components are serialized out here. To check for validity, use the isValid() method; and to normalize most durations to a valid form use the normalize() method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - add
```
public GDuration add(GDurationSpecification duration)
```
    Returns a new GDuration which is the sum of this one and the supplied duration. Does a fieldwise addition, with no normalization.
  - subtract
```
public GDuration subtract(GDurationSpecification duration)
```
    Returns a new GDuration which is the result of subtracting the supplied duration from this one. Does a fieldwise subtraction, with no normalization.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Two GDurations are equal if all their fields are equal. The equals function does not apply normalizatin.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
