Constructor Detail

### ExsltDatetime

    public ExsltDatetime()

Method Detail

### dateTime

    public static java.lang.String dateTime()

  The date:date-time function returns the current date and time as a date/time string. The date/time string that's returned must be a string in the format defined as the lexical representation of xs:dateTime in [3.2.7 dateTime] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. The date/time format is basically CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details. The date/time string format must include a time zone, either a Z to indicate Coordinated Universal Time or a + or - followed by the difference between the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm.

### date

    public static java.lang.String date(java.lang.String datetimeIn)
                                 throws java.text.ParseException

  The date:date function returns the date specified in the date/time string given as the argument. If no argument is given, then the current local date/time, as returned by date:date-time is used as a default argument. The date/time string that's returned must be a string in the format defined as the lexical representation of xs:dateTime in [3.2.7 dateTime] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. If the argument is not in either of these formats, date:date returns an empty string (''). The date/time format is basically CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details. The date is returned as a string with a lexical representation as defined for xs:date in [3.2.9 date] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. The date format is basically CCYY-MM-DD, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details. If no argument is given or the argument date/time specifies a time zone, then the date string format must include a time zone, either a Z to indicate Coordinated Universal Time or a + or - followed by the difference between the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm. If an argument is specified and it does not specify a time zone, then the date string format must not include a time zone.

  Throws:
    `java.text.ParseException`

### date

    public static java.lang.String time(java.lang.String timeIn)
                                 throws java.text.ParseException

  The date:time function returns the time specified in the date/time string given as the argument. If no argument is given, then the current local date/time, as returned by date:date-time is used as a default argument. The date/time string that's returned must be a string in the format defined as the lexical representation of xs:dateTime in [3.2.7 dateTime] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. If the argument string is not in this format, date:time returns an empty string (''). The date/time format is basically CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details. The date is returned as a string with a lexical representation as defined for xs:time in [3.2.8 time] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. The time format is basically hh:mm:ss, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details. If no argument is given or the argument date/time specifies a time zone, then the time string format must include a time zone, either a Z to indicate Coordinated Universal Time or a + or - followed by the difference between the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm. If an argument is specified and it does not specify a time zone, then the time string format must not include a time zone.

  Throws:
    `java.text.ParseException`

### year

    public static double year(java.lang.String datetimeIn)

  The date:format-date function formats a date/time according to a pattern.

  The first argument to date:format-date specifies the date/time to be formatted. It must be right or left-truncated date/time strings in one of the formats defined in [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. The permitted formats are as follows:

  - xs:dateTime (CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss)
  - xs:date (CCYY-MM-DD)
  - xs:time (hh:mm:ss)
  - xs:gYearMonth (CCYY-MM)
  - xs:gYear (CCYY)
  - xs:gMonthDay (--MM-DD)
  - xs:gMonth (--MM--)
  - xs:gDay (---DD)
  The second argument is a string that gives the format pattern used to format the date. The format pattern must be in the syntax specified by the JDK 1.1 SimpleDateFormat class. The format pattern string is interpreted as described for the JDK 1.1 SimpleDateFormat class.

  If the date/time format is right-truncated (i.e. in a format other than xs:time, or xs:dateTime) then any missing components are assumed to be as follows: if no month is specified, it is given a month of 01; if no day is specified, it is given a day of 01; if no time is specified, it is given a time of 00:00:00.

  If the date/time format is left-truncated (i.e. xs:time, xs:gMonthDay, xs:gMonth or xs:gDay) and the format pattern has a token that uses a component that is missing from the date/time format used, then that token is replaced with an empty string ('') within the result.
