Timestamp

public Timestamp(java.sql.Timestamp timestamp)

Construct a Timestamp from a java.sql.Timestamp

Method Detail

getDate

public java.util.Date getDate()

Get the times tamp as a Java Date. Some precision is lost since the Date class only supports millisecond resolution.

Returns:

The time stamp as a Date.

getTime

public long getTime()

Get the timestamp in milliseconds relative to the Java epoch.

Returns:

The time in milliseconds since the Java epoch.

getSeconds

public double getSeconds()

Get the time in seconds since the Java epoch.

Returns:

the time in seconds since the Java epoch.

getFullSeconds

public java.math.BigDecimal getFullSeconds()

Get the time in seconds with full precision since the Java epoch.

Returns:

the time in seconds since the Java epoch.

getSQLTimestamp

public java.sql.Timestamp getSQLTimestamp()

Get the SQL Timestamp equivalent of this instance.

Returns:

the SQL Timestamp equivalent of this instance.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Get a string representation of the Timestamp.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of the Timestamp

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object otherTimestamp)

Compare this timestamp with another timestamp.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

otherTimestamp - The timestamp with which to compare this one

Returns:

0 if the timestamps are the same, negative if this is earlier than the supplied one and positive otherwise
