Field Detail

input

public PortParameter input

A string date and time. If not used, the current date and time is used.

inputFormat

public PortParameter inputFormat

The format of the input date and time. See java.text.SimpleDateFormat for the syntax.

defaultTimezone

public StringParameter defaultTimezone

The time zone to use when inputFormat is specified, but no time zone is found in the format (specified with 'z' or 'Z'). This value is not used when inputFormat is the milliseconds or seconds since the epoch.

MS_SINCE_EPOCH

public static final java.lang.String MS_SINCE_EPOCH

Constant string for special case of milliseconds since epoch. There does not appear to be formatting symbols for this.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

S_SINCE_EPOCH

public static final java.lang.String S_SINCE_EPOCH

Constant string for seconds since epoch.

Constructor Detail

CreateDate

public CreateDate(CompositeEntity container,
                  java.lang.String name)
           throws NameDuplicationException,
                  IllegalActionException

Construct a CreateDate with the given container and name.

Parameters:

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

React to an attribute change.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class LimitedFiringSource

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the function is not recognized.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone the actor into the specified workspace.

Overrides:

clone in class TypedAtomicActor

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace for the new object.

Returns:

A new actor.

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

See Also:

NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String), NamedObj.setDeferringChangeRequests(boolean)

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Create a date token.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class Source

Throws:

IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class.
