Accessor(s)
Value Range
year {@link #getYear()} + {@link #getEon()} or
* {@link #getEonAndYear} *
{@code getYear()} is a value between -(10^9-1) to (10^9)-1 * or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}.
* {@link #getEon()} is high order year value in billion of years.
* {@code getEon()} has values greater than or equal to (10^9) or less than or equal to -(10^9). * A value of null indicates field is undefined.
* Given that XML Schema 1.0 errata states that the year zero * will be a valid lexical value in a future version of XML Schema, * this class allows the year field to be set to zero. Otherwise, * the year field value is handled exactly as described * in the errata and [ISO-8601-1988]. Note that W3C XML Schema 1.0 * validation does not allow for the year field to have a value of zero. *
month {@link #getMonth()} 1 to 12 or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}
day {@link #getDay()} Independent of month, max range is 1 to 31 or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}.
* The normative value constraint stated relative to month * field's value is in W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D. *
hour{@link #getHour()} * 0 to 23 or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}. * An hour value of 24 is allowed to be set in the lexical space provided the minute and second * field values are zero. However, an hour value of 24 is not allowed in value space and will be * transformed to represent the value of the first instance of the following day as per * * XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition, 3.2 Primitive datatypes. *
minute {@link #getMinute()} 0 to 59 or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}
second * {@link #getSecond()} + {@link #getMillisecond()}/1000 or
* {@link #getSecond()} + {@link #getFractionalSecond()} *
* {@link #getSecond()} from 0 to 60 or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}.
* (Note: 60 only allowable for leap second.)
* {@link #getFractionalSecond()} allows for infinite precision over the range from 0.0 to 1.0 when * the {@link #getSecond()} is defined.
* {@code FractionalSecond} is optional and has a value of {@code null} when it is undefined.
* {@link #getMillisecond()} is the convenience * millisecond precision of value of {@link #getFractionalSecond()}. *
timezone {@link #getTimezone()} Number of minutes or {@link DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED}. * Value range from -14 hours (-14 * 60 minutes) to 14 hours (14 * 60 minutes). *
* *

All maximum value space constraints listed for the fields in the table * above are checked by factory methods, {@link DatatypeFactory}, * setter methods and parse methods of * this class. {@code IllegalArgumentException} is thrown when a * parameter's value is outside the value constraint for the field or * if the composite * values constitute an invalid XMLGregorianCalendar instance (for example, if * the 31st of June is specified). * *
