Constructor Detail

AttributeDateValue

public AttributeDateValue(java.util.Date date)

Construct a AttributeDateValue with a Date.

Parameters:

date - Initial date for the AttributeDateValue.

AttributeDateValue

public AttributeDateValue(long systemTime)

Construct a AttributeDateValue with a Date.

Parameters:

systemTime - Initial date for the AttributeDateValue as system time in milliseconds.

AttributeDateValue

public AttributeDateValue(java.lang.String generalizedTimeString)

This constructor is modified to use the method setGeneralizedTimeStringData() which is now private.

Parameters:

generalizedTimeString - a GeneralizedTime String.

AttributeDateValue

public AttributeDateValue(java.lang.String generalizedTimeString,
                          boolean ignoreSecond)

This method constructs the date data including seconds

Parameters:

generalizedTimeString -

ignoreSecond - : false indicates the second data should be considered

Since:
