Question

According to their website, the class DUration implements the ISO 8601

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations

But let see an example. It is a duration of 14min & 51sec. In ISO 8601 those code are equivalent :

PT14M51S

PT891S

    System.out.println("bug "+new Duration("PT14M51S"));
     System.out.println("NO bug "+new Duration("PT891S");

The PT14M51S is a real extract for a postgresql database & correct. The joda-time api just convert everything in sec why ?It seems to dont know anything elese than the keyletter S(theres Y, M, D...)

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need:

System.out.println("bug "+new Period("PT14M51S"));

Answer 2

To clarify, Joda uses "Period" to mean what everybody else calls "Duration" (ISO and Oasis for sure) and adds "Duration" to mean something similar but different. Yes, its really confusing.
