Examples: DateTime class

This agent creates a DateTime object that represents 4 March 2005 at 6:07:08 AM. The use of java.util.Calendar eliminates dependencies on regional settings.

import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
  public void NotesMain() {
    try {
      Session session = getSession();
      AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
      // (Your code goes here) 
      java.util.Calendar jdt = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
      jdt.set(2005, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8);
      DateTime dt = session.createDateTime(jdt);
      System.out.println("Local time = " + dt.getLocalTime());
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

This agent creates a NotesDateTime object that represents 4 March 2005 at 6:07:08 if the regional setting is appropriate, for example, M/d/yy h:mm:ss. When you set the date from a String, you must be sure that the regional settings of the user's computer are appropriate to the String value.

import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
  public void NotesMain() {
    try {
      Session session = getSession();
      AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
      // (Your code goes here) 
      if ((session.getInternational().isDateMDY()) &&
      (session.getInternational().getDateSep().equals("/")) &&
      (session.getInternational().getTimeSep().equals(":"))) {
        DateTime dt = session.createDateTime("3/4/05 6:07:08");
        System.out.println("Local time = " + dt.getLocalTime());
      }
      else
        System.out.println("Date format not MDY with / and :");
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

This agent creates a new DateTime object that represents today's date. The time component of the DateTime object is not set.

import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
  public void NotesMain() {
    try {
      Session session = getSession();
      AgentContext agentContext = 
      session.getAgentContext();
      // (Your code goes here) 
      DateTime dt = session.createDateTime("Today");
      System.out.println(dt.getLocalTime());
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

This agent creates a new DateTime object that represents the current date and time.

import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
  public void NotesMain() {
    try {
      Session session = getSession();
      AgentContext agentContext = 
      session.getAgentContext();
      // (Your code goes here) 
      DateTime dt = session.createDateTime("Today");
      dt.setNow();
      System.out.println(dt.getLocalTime());
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

This agent gets the value of the PurgeDate item in a document and places it into a DateTime object. The time zone setting of PurgeDate is preserved. For example, if PurgeDate has a value of 03/21/96 04:54:33 PM in Eastern Standard Time, the DateTime object represents 03/21/96 04:54:33 PM and its TimeZone property equals 5.

import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
  public void NotesMain() {
    try {
      Session session = getSession();
      AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
      // (Your code goes here) 
      Document doc = agentContext.getDocumentContext();
      Item item = doc.getFirstItem("PurgeDate");
      DateTime dt = item.getDateTimeValue();
      System.out.println("Local time = " + 
        dt.getLocalTime() + " TZ" + dt.getTimeZone());
    } catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
