java8 time year_How to convert java.util.Date to Java8 java.time.YearMonth

问题

How can I best convert a java.util.Date to a Java 8 java.time.YearMonth?

Unfortunately the following throws a DateTimeException:

YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.from(date.toInstant());

results in:

java.time.DateTimeException: Unable to obtain YearMonth from TemporalAccessor: 2015-01-08T14:28:39.183Z of type java.time.Instant

at java.time.YearMonth.from(YearMonth.java:264)

...

I need this functionality since I want to store YearMonth values in a database using JPA. Currently JPA does not support YearMonth's, so I've come up with the following YearMonthConverter (imports omitted):

// TODO (future): delete when next version of JPA (i.e. Java 9?) supports YearMonth. See https://java.net/jira/browse/JPA_SPEC-63

@Converter(autoApply = true)

public class YearMonthConverter implements AttributeConverter {

@Override

public Date convertToDatabaseColumn(YearMonth attribute) {

// uses default zone since in the end only dates are needed

return attribute == null ? null : Date.from(attribute.atDay(1).atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());

}

@Override

public YearMonth convertToEntityAttribute(Date dbData) {

// TODO: check if Date -> YearMonth can't be done in a better way

if (dbData == null) return null;

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();

calendar.setTime(dbData);

return YearMonth.of(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1);

}

}

Isn't there a better (cleaner, shorter) solution (for both directions)?

回答1:

Short answer:

// From Date to YearMonth

YearMonth yearMonth =

YearMonth.from(date.toInstant()

.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())

.toLocalDate());

// From YearMonth to Date

// The same as the OP:s answer

final Date convertedFromYearMonth =

Date.from(yearMonth.atDay(1).atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());

Explanation:

The JavaDoc of the YearMonth.from(TemporalAccessor)-method says:

The conversion extracts the YEAR and MONTH_OF_YEAR fields. The extraction is only permitted if the temporal object has an ISO chronology, or can be converted to a LocalDate.

So, you need to either be able to:

extract the YEAR and MONTH_OF_YEAR fields, or

you should use something that can be converted to a LocalDate.

Lets try it!

final Date date = new Date();

final Instant instant = date.toInstant();

instant.get(ChronoField.YEAR); // causes an error

This is not possible, an exception is thrown:

java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: Unsupported field: Year

at java.time.Instant.get(Instant.java:571)

...

This means that alternative 1 goes out the window. The reason for is explained in this excellent answer about how to convert Date to LocalDate.

Despite its name, java.util.Date represents an instant on the time-line, not a "date". The actual data stored within the object is a long count of milliseconds since 1970-01-01T00:00Z (midnight at the start of 1970 GMT/UTC).

The equivalent class to java.util.Date in JSR-310 is Instant, thus there is a convenient method toInstant() to provide the conversion.

So, a Date can be converted to an Instant but that did not help us, did it?

Alternative 2 however proves to be successful. Convert the Instant to a LocalDate and then use the YearMonth.from(TemporalAccessor)-method.

Date date = new Date();

LocalDate localDate = date.toInstant()

.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())

.toLocalDate();

YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.from(localDate);

System.out.println("YearMonth: " + yearMonth);

The output is (since the code was executed in January 2015 ;):

YearMonth: 2015-01
