Method Detail

parse

public Timestamp parse(java.lang.String timeArg,
                       boolean absolute)

Parse timestamps given as a String. Absolute or relative timestamps can be specified.

The timestamps are of the format "time.subseconds" Formats processed for time are:

• yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss
• yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm
• yyyy/MM/dd
• HH:mm:ss
• mm:ss

The returned Timestamp is at a resolution based on the resolution of the passed in string. Formats for subseconds can resolve down to nanoseconds. e.g. .2 is 2/10ths of a seconds, .200 is 200 milliseconds, .25000 is 25000 microseconds, and so on.

Parameters:

timeArg - the inout string

absolute - should the timestamp be parsed as an absolute time or a relative time.

Returns:

a Timestamp object if the input is valid, null otherwise.
