public class Time
extends Date

A thin wrapper around java.util.Date that allows JDBC to identify this as a SQL TIME value. The Time class adds formatting and parsing operations to support the JDBC escape syntax for time values.

The date components should be set to the "zero epoch" value of January 1, 1970 and should not be accessed.

Constructor Detail

Time

public Time(int hour,
            int minute,
            int second)
Constructs a Time object initialized with the given values for the hour, minute, and second. The driver sets the date components to January 1, 1970. Any method that attempts to access the date components of a Time object will throw a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.
Parameters:
hour - 0 to 23
minute - 0 to 59
second - 0 to 59

Time

public Time(long time)
Constructs a Time object using a milliseconds time value.
Parameters:
time - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT; a negative number is milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT
Method Detail

setTime

public void setTime(long time)
Sets a Time object using a milliseconds time value.
Overrides:
setTime in class Date
Parameters:
time - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT; a negative number is milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Converts a string in JDBC time escape format to a Time value.
Parameters:
s - time in format "hh:mm:ss"
Returns:
a corresponding Time object

Format a time in JDBC date escape format
Overrides:
toString in class Date
