# DatatypeFactory

`public abstract class DatatypeFactory`
`extends Object` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory

Factory that creates new `javax.xml.datatype` `Object`s that map XML to/from Java `Object`s.

`newInstance()` is used to create a new `DatatypeFactory`. The following implementation resolution mechanisms are used in the following order:

1. If the system property specified by `DATATYPEFACTORY_PROPERTY`, "`javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory`", exists, a class with the name of the property's value is instantiated. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a `DatatypeConfigurationException`.
2. If the file ${JAVA_HOME}/lib/jaxp.properties exists, it is loaded in a `Properties` `Object`. The `Properties` `Object` is then queried for the property as documented in the prior step and processed as documented in the prior step.
3. The services resolution mechanism is used, e.g. `META-INF/services/java.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory`. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a `DatatypeConfigurationException`.
4. The final mechanism is to attempt to instantiate the `Class` specified by `DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS`, "`javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactoryImpl`". Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a `DatatypeConfigurationException`.

Note that you must supply your own implementation (such as Xerces); Android does not ship with a default implementation.

### newDuration

    public abstract Duration newDuration (long durationInMilliSeconds)

Obtain a new instance of a `Duration` specifying the `Duration` as milliseconds.

XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes, 3.2.6 duration, defines `duration` as:

> duration represents a duration of time. The value space of duration is a six-dimensional space where the coordinates designate the Gregorian year, month, day, hour, minute, and second components defined in Section 5.5.3.2 of [ISO 8601], respectively. These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

All six values are set by computing their values from the specified milliseconds and are available using the `get` methods of the created `Duration`. The values conform to and are defined by:

- ISO 8601:2000(E) Section 5.5.3.2 Alternative format
- W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D, ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats
- `XMLGregorianCalendar` Date/Time Datatype Field Mapping Between XML Schema 1.0 and Java Representation

The default start instance is defined by `GregorianCalendar`'s use of the start of the epoch: i.e., `Calendar.YEAR` = 1970, `Calendar.MONTH` = `Calendar.JANUARY`, `Calendar.DATE` = 1, etc. This is important as there are variations in the Gregorian Calendar, e.g. leap years have different days in the month = `Calendar.FEBRUARY` so the result of `Duration#getMonths()` and `Duration#getDays()` can be influenced.

Parameters
`durationInMilliSeconds` | `long`: Duration in milliseconds to create.

Returns
`Duration` | New `Duration` representing `durationInMilliSeconds`.

### newDuration

    public abstract Duration newDuration (String lexicalRepresentation)

These components are ordered in their significance by their order of appearance i.e. as year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

All six values are set and available from the created `Duration`

The XML Schema specification states that values can be of an arbitrary size. Implementations may chose not to or be incapable of supporting arbitrarily large and/or small values. An `UnsupportedOperationException` will be thrown with a message indicating implementation limits if implementation capacities are exceeded.

Parameters
`lexicalRepresentation` | `String`: `String` representation of a `Duration`.

Returns
`Duration` | New `Duration` created from parsing the `lexicalRepresentation`.

The datatype `xdt:dayTimeDuration` is a subtype of `xs:duration` whose lexical representation contains only day, hour, minute, and second components. This datatype resides in the namespace `http://www.w3.org/2003/11/xpath-datatypes`.

All four values are set by computing their values from the specified milliseconds and are available using the `get` methods of the created `Duration`. The values conform to and are defined by:

- ISO 8601:2000(E) Section 5.5.3.2 Alternative format
- W3C XML Schema 1.0 Part 2, Appendix D, ISO 8601 Date and Time Formats
- `XMLGregorianCalendar` Date/Time Datatype Field Mapping Between XML Schema 1.0 and Java Representation

The default start instance is defined by `GregorianCalendar`'s use of the start of the epoch: i.e., `Calendar.YEAR` = 1970, `Calendar.MONTH` = `Calendar.JANUARY`, `Calendar.DATE` = 1, etc. This is important as there are variations in the Gregorian Calendar, e.g. leap years have different days in the month = `Calendar.FEBRUARY` so the result of `Duration#getDays()` can be influenced.

Any remaining milliseconds after determining the day, hour, minute and second are discarded.

Parameters
`durationInMilliseconds` | `long`: Milliseconds of `Duration` to create.

### newXMLGregorianCalendar

    public abstract XMLGregorianCalendar newXMLGregorianCalendar (BigInteger year,
                    int month,
                    int day,
                    int hour,
                    int minute,
                    int second,
                    BigDecimal fractionalSecond,
                    int timezone)

Constructor allowing for complete value spaces allowed by W3C XML Schema 1.0 recommendation for xsd:dateTime and related builtin datatypes. Note that `year` parameter supports arbitrarily large numbers and fractionalSecond has infinite precision.

A `null` value indicates that field is not set.

Parameters
`year` | `BigInteger`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`month` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`day` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`hour` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`minute` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`second` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`fractionalSecond` | `BigDecimal`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`timezone` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.

Returns
`XMLGregorianCalendar` | `XMLGregorianCalendar` created from specified values.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException` | If any individual parameter's value is outside the maximum value constraint for the field as determined by the Date/Time Data Mapping table in `XMLGregorianCalendar` or if the composite values constitute an invalid `XMLGregorianCalendar` instance as determined by `XMLGregorianCalendar#isValid()`.

### newXMLGregorianCalendar

    public abstract XMLGregorianCalendar newXMLGregorianCalendar ()

Create a new instance of an `XMLGregorianCalendar`.

All date/time datatype fields set to `DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED` or null.

Returns
`XMLGregorianCalendar` | New `XMLGregorianCalendar` with all date/time datatype fields set to `DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED` or null.

### newXMLGregorianCalendarDate

    public XMLGregorianCalendar newXMLGregorianCalendarDate (int year,
                    int month,
                    int day,
                    int timezone)

Create a Java representation of XML Schema builtin datatype `date` or `g*`.

For example, an instance of `gYear` can be created invoking this factory with `month` and `day` parameters set to `DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED`.

A `DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED` value indicates that field is not set.

Parameters
`year` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`month` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`day` | `int`: of `XMLGregorianCalendar` to be created.
`timezone` | `int`: offset in minutes. `DatatypeConstants#FIELD_UNDEFINED` indicates optional field is not set.

Returns
`XMLGregorianCalendar` | `XMLGregorianCalendar` created from parameter values.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException` | If any individual parameter's value is outside the maximum value constraint for the field as determined by the Date/Time Data Mapping table in `XMLGregorianCalendar` or if the composite values constitute an invalid `XMLGregorianCalendar` instance as determined by `XMLGregorianCalendar#isValid()`.
