Method Detail

readResolve

private java.lang.Object readResolve()

Resolve singletons.

instant

public Instant instant()

Gets the current Instant.

The instant returned by this method will vary according to the implementation. For example, the time-source returned by TimeSource.system() will return an instant based on System.currentTimeMillis().

Normally, this method will not throw an exception. However, one possible implementation would be to obtain the time from a central time server across the network. Obviously, in this case the lookup could fail, and so the method is permitted to throw an exception.

Specified by:

instant in class TimeSource

Returns:

the current Instant from this time-source, never null

millis

public long millis()

Gets the current millisecond instant.

The instant returned by this method will vary according to the implementation. For example, the time-source returned by TimeSource.system() will return System.currentTimeMillis().

This method is provided for backwards compatibility. New code should use classes such as Instant to represent an instant rather than a raw millisecond value.

Normally, this method will not throw an exception. However, one possible implementation would be to obtain the time from a central time server across the network. Obviously, in this case the lookup could fail, and so the method is permitted to throw an exception.

Overrides:

millis in class TimeSource

Returns:

the current millisecond instant from this time-source, measured from the Java epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00 UTC, never null

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
