DefaultCitationDate

public DefaultCitationDate(Date date,
                           DateType dateType)

Constructs a citation date initialized to the given date.

Parameters:

date - The reference date for the cited resource.

dateType - The event used for reference date.

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static DefaultCitationDate castOrCopy(CitationDate object)

Returns a Geotk metadata implementation with the same values than the given arbitrary implementation. If the given object is null, then this method returns null. Otherwise if the given object is already a Geotk implementation, then the given object is returned unchanged. Otherwise a new Geotk implementation is created and initialized to the attribute values of the given object, using a shallow copy operation (i.e. attributes are not cloned).

Parameters:

object - The object to get as a Geotk implementation, or null if none.

Returns:

A Geotk implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.

Since:

3.18

getDate

public Date getDate()

Returns the reference date for the cited resource.

Specified by:

getDate in interface CitationDate

setDate

public void setDate(Date newValue)

Sets the reference date for the cited resource.

Parameters:

newValue - The new date.

getDateType

public DateType getDateType()

Returns the event used for reference date.

Specified by:

getDateType in interface CitationDate

setDateType

public void setDateType(DateType newValue)

Sets the event used for reference date.

Parameters:

newValue - The new event.
