Class CachedDateFormat

java.lang.Object
  java.text.Format
      java.text.DateFormat
          org.apache.log4j.pattern.CachedDateFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public final class CachedDateFormat
extends DateFormat

CachedDateFormat optimizes the performance of a wrapped DateFormat. The implementation is not thread-safe. If the millisecond pattern is not recognized, the class will only use the cache if the same value is requested.

Constructor Detail

CachedDateFormat

public CachedDateFormat(DateFormat dateFormat,
                        int expiration)

Creates a new CachedDateFormat object.

Parameters:

dateFormat - Date format, may not be null.

expiration - maximum cached range in milliseconds. If the dateFormat is known to be incompatible with the caching algorithm, use a value of 0 to totally disable caching or 1 to only use cache for duplicate requests.

Method Detail

findMillisecondStart

public static int findMillisecondStart(long time,
                                       String formatted,
                                       DateFormat formatter)

Finds start of millisecond field in formatted time.

Parameters:

time - long time, must be integral number of seconds

formatted - String corresponding formatted string

formatter - DateFormat date format

Returns:

int position in string of first digit of milliseconds, -1 indicates no millisecond field, -2 indicates unrecognized field (likely RelativeTimeDateFormat)

format

public StringBuffer format(Date date,
                           StringBuffer sbuf,
                           FieldPosition fieldPosition)

Formats a Date into a date/time string.

Specified by:

format in class DateFormat

Parameters:

date - the date to format.

sbuf - the string buffer to write to.

fieldPosition - remains untouched.

Returns:

the formatted time string.

format

public StringBuffer format(long now,
                           StringBuffer buf)

Formats a millisecond count into a date/time string.

Parameters:

now - Number of milliseconds after midnight 1 Jan 1970 GMT.

buf - the string buffer to write to.

Returns:

the formatted time string.

setTimeZone

public void setTimeZone(TimeZone timeZone)

Set timezone. Setting the timezone using getCalendar().setTimeZone() will likely cause caching to misbehave.

Overrides:

setTimeZone in class DateFormat

Parameters:

timeZone - TimeZone new timezone

parse

public Date parse(String s,
                  ParsePosition pos)

This method is delegated to the formatter which most likely returns null.

Specified by:

parse in class DateFormat

Parameters:

s - string representation of date.

pos - field position, unused.

Returns:

parsed date, likely null.

getNumberFormat

public NumberFormat getNumberFormat()

Gets number formatter.

Overrides:

getNumberFormat in class DateFormat

Returns:

NumberFormat number formatter

getMaximumCacheValidity

public static int getMaximumCacheValidity(String pattern)

Gets maximum cache validity for the specified SimpleDateTime conversion pattern.

Parameters:

pattern - conversion pattern, may not be null.

Returns:

Duration in milliseconds from an integral second that the cache will return consistent results.
