Class TimeAndDateSingleton

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    TestTimeAdapter
    public final class TimeAndDateSingleton
extends Object
implements TestTimeAdapter
    This singleton is designed to make time-sensitive processes testable by allowing to set the "current time" to a certain fixed time or a certain start time from which the "current time" progresses at a configurable speed.

    Applications which need to operate on date specific data should use TimeAndDateSingleton.getInstance().getDate() rather than creating a new Date with new java.util.Date();. In order to test that application code later, a fixed date can be used rather than the current date by assigning the date to use with TimeAndDateSingleton.setDate(aDate).

    This is more a sample implementation than it is intended to be actually used directly as-is in an application, which is the reason why the instance getter below is private - YOU MUST MAKE IT PUBLIC IN YOUR COPY! You are advised at copying this class into your application, because then you won't depend on Integrity JARs during runtime. See the SimpleTestTimeAdapter class and the interface TestTimeAdapter for more information.

      • TimeAndDateSingleton

        protected TimeAndDateSingleton()
        Ensure that no instance can be created from outside.

    • Method Detail

      • setProgressingDate

        public void setProgressingDate​(Date aDate,
                               double aTimeProgressionFactor)
        Configure a progressing date, starting at a certain start date, which then progresses at a configurable speed.
        Parameters:
        aDate - the start date
        aTimeProgressionFactor - the speed at which time progresses (1.0 is "realtime").

      • setProgressionFactor

        public void setProgressionFactor​(double aTimeProgressionFactor)
        Change the progression factor of time. This only has an effect if the date was configured to a progressing date before by calling setProgressingDate(Date, double).
        Parameters:
        aTimeProgressionFactor - the speed at which time progresses (1.0 is "realtime").

      • setDate

        public void setDate​(Date aDate)
        Sets the "current date" to a static date.
        Parameters:
        aDate - the static date to set (null resets the date to the actual date; see also reset())

      • reset

        public void reset()
        Resets any configured static or progressing date. The singleton will then return the actual date again.

      • setInternalState

        public void setInternalState​(long aRealtimeOffset,
                             long aRealtimeDecouplingTime,
                             double aProgressionFactor)
        Directly sets the internal values of the timekeeper. Intended to be used by the Integrity Test Framework.
        Specified by:
        setInternalState in interface TestTimeAdapter
        Parameters:
        aRealtimeOffset -
        aRealtimeDecouplingTime -
        aProgressionFactor -

      • getInternalsAsString

        public String getInternalsAsString()
        Returns the internal values of this TestingTimeAndDateSingleton as a String. This string is intended to be fed into another TestingTimeAndDateSingleton in order to synchronize it with the source. The string consists of pipe-divided values "realtime offset", "realtime decoupling time" and "multiplier" (first two are long values, third is a double-precision floating point number in normal notation with decimal point). If the singleton is in "live" operation mode, the returned value is just null.
        Returns:
        the internal values as string without spaces

      • setInternalsFromString

        public void setInternalsFromString​(String anInternalsString)
        Takes the string returned by getInternalsAsString() and inserts the internals into this TimeAndDateSingleton.
        Parameters:
        anInternalsString - the string to use as source

      • getDate

        public Date getDate()
        Returns the current system date or - if a static or progressing "fake" date was set - this fake date for testing purposes.
        Returns:

      • currentTimeMillis

        public long currentTimeMillis()
        The replacement for System.currentTimeMillis(). Returns either the actual value or, if the time was overridden for testing, the "fake testing time".
        Returns:
