Method Detail

getInstance

public static DateTimeField getInstance(DateTimeField field,
                                        Chronology base)
Returns a lenient version of the given field. If it is already lenient, then it is returned as-is. Otherwise, a new LenientDateTimeField is returned.


isLenient

public final boolean isLenient()
Description copied from class: DateTimeField
Returns true if the set method is lenient. If so, it accepts values that are out of bounds. For example, a lenient day of month field accepts 32 for January, converting it to February 1.

Overrides:
isLenient in class DelegatedDateTimeField

set

public long set(long instant,
                int value)
Set values which may be out of bounds by adding the difference between the new value and the current value.

Overrides:
set in class DelegatedDateTimeField
