Class DateBuilder

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.quartz.DateBuilder

public class DateBuilder
extends Object

DateBuilder is used to conveniently create java.util.Date instances that meet particular criteria.

Quartz provides a builder-style API for constructing scheduling-related entities via a Domain-Specific Language (DSL). The DSL can best be utilized through the usage of static imports of the methods on the classes TriggerBuilder, JobBuilder, DateBuilder, JobKey, TriggerKey and the various ScheduleBuilder implementations.

Client code can then use the DSL to write code such as this:

         JobDetail job = newJob(MyJob.class)
             .withIdentity("myJob")
             .build();
             
         Trigger trigger = newTrigger() 
             .withIdentity(triggerKey("myTrigger", "myTriggerGroup"))
             .withSchedule(simpleSchedule()
                 .withIntervalInHours(1)
                 .repeatForever())
             .startAt(futureDate(10, MINUTES))
             .build();
         
         scheduler.scheduleJob(job, trigger);

For example a current time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 09:00:00. If the date's time is in the 23rd hour, the date's 'day' will be promoted, and the time will be set to 00:00:00.

Returns:
the new rounded date

evenHourDate

public static Date evenHourDate(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even hour above the given date.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 09:00:00. If the date's time is in the 23rd hour, the date's 'day' will be promoted, and the time will be set to 00:00:00.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

evenHourDateBefore

public static Date evenHourDateBefore(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the previous even hour below the given date.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 08:00:00.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

evenMinuteDateAfterNow

public static Date evenMinuteDateAfterNow()

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even minute after the current time.

For example a current time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 08:14:00. If the date's time is in the 59th minute, then the hour (and possibly the day) will be promoted.

Returns:
the new rounded date

evenMinuteDate

public static Date evenMinuteDate(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even minute above the given date.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 08:14:00. If the date's time is in the 59th minute, then the hour (and possibly the day) will be promoted.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

evenMinuteDateBefore

public static Date evenMinuteDateBefore(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the previous even minute below the given date.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54 would result in a date with the time of 08:13:00.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

evenSecondDateAfterNow

public static Date evenSecondDateAfterNow()

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even second after the current time.

Returns:
the new rounded date

evenSecondDate

public static Date evenSecondDate(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even second above the given date.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

evenSecondDateBefore

public static Date evenSecondDateBefore(Date date)

Returns a date that is rounded to the previous even second below the given date.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54.341 would result in a date with the time of 08:13:54.000.

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
Returns:
the new rounded date

nextGivenMinuteDate

public static Date nextGivenMinuteDate(Date date,
                                       int minuteBase)

Returns a date that is rounded to the next even multiple of the given minute.

For example an input date with a time of 08:13:54, and an input minute-base of 5 would result in a date with the time of 08:15:00. The same input date with an input minute-base of 10 would result in a date with the time of 08:20:00. But a date with the time 08:53:31 and an input minute-base of 45 would result in 09:00:00, because the even-hour is the next 'base' for 45-minute intervals.

More examples:

Input Time Minute-Base Result Time
11:16:41 20 11:20:00
11:36:41 20 11:40:00

11:17:41 0 12:00:00
11:17:41 1 11:08:00

Parameters:
date - the Date to round, if null the current time will be used
minuteBase - the base-minute to set the time on
Returns:
the new rounded date
