[jira] Updated: (LANG-400) Add DateUtils methods to implement
before and after time-insensitive
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-400?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Paul Benedict updated LANG-400:
-------------------------------
Description:
The JDK contains Date.before() and Date.after() but no time-insensitive versions exist. I am typically in the situation where TIMESTAMP columns are converted into Date instances and I need to compare dates only for business rules.
I propose to complement DateUtils.isSameDay:
DateUtils.isBeforeDay
DateUtils.isAfterDay
My private implementations convert Date to Calendar, zero-out the time elements, and then compare.
PS: I would also deprecate isSameXXX methods in 2.4 and rename it to isEqualXXX since sameness usually implies instance equality, rather than object equality.
