isInterval

public boolean isInterval()

Tests if this is an interval

Returns:

boolean true if this is an interal value; false otherwise

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of the CIMDateTime. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

string representation of this datetime

toMOF

public java.lang.String toMOF()

Returns a MOF representation of the CIMDateTime

Returns:

String Managed Object Format (MOF) representation of this datetime

after

public boolean after(CIMDateTime when)
              throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Compares the CIMDateTime with this one

Parameters:

when - The CIMDateTime to be compared with this object

Returns:

boolean true if the current CIMDateTime is after the CIMDateTime of when; false otherwise If comparing interval values, returns true if current interval is greater then when, false otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if one object refers to an interval and the other does not.

before

public boolean before(CIMDateTime when)
               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Compares the CIMDateTime with this one

Parameters:

when - The CIMDateTime to be compared with this object

Returns:

boolean true if the current CIMDateTime is before the CIMDateTime of when; false otherwise If comparing interval values, returns true if current interval is less then when, false otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if one object refers to an interval and the other does not.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Compares the CIMDateTime with this one

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - The CIMDateTime to be compared with this one

Returns:

boolean true if the objects are the same; false otherwise

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if one object refers to an interval and the other does not.
