| DynamicDate | | public class DynamicDate extends Date (Code) | | A DynamicDate is a Date object that has no fixed value, like 'now'. It is unmodifiable, so all
set-methods throw exceptions. There is no public constructor, but a public static
DynamicDate.getInstance .
Sadly, the Date object of Sun is implemented using private static methods which use private
fields, of the Date object so not everything could be overridden perfectly. So, if e.g. a dynamic
date could be an argument of a 'after' or 'before' method, it is better to wrap it with
DynamicDate.eval first.

| Field Summary | |
| final protected String | date
The original string by which this instance was gotten. |
| date | | final protected String date(Code) | | The original string by which this instance was gotten.
|
| compareTo | | public int compareTo(Date anotherDate)(Code) | | |
| eval | | public static Date eval(Date date)(Code) | | Makes sure the argument 'date' is no DynamicDate any more. So this returns a fixed date
object when the argument is a DynamicDate and simply the argument if it is not.
|
| evalDate | | protected Date evalDate()(Code) | | This produces a normal Date object, and is called everytime when that is needed. Users can call it too, if they want to fixated
|
| getDate | | public int getDate()(Code) | | |
| getDay | | public int getDay()(Code) | | |
| getHours | | public int getHours()(Code) | | |
| getInstance | | public static Date getInstance(String format) throws ParseException(Code) | | Parses a format string and returns Date instance, possibly a 'dynamic one'. Not necessary a new one, which
does not matter, because these objects are unmodifiable anyway.
If the request date is not dynamic, but absolutely defined, a normal Date object is returned.
