    • Method Detail

      • buildLocalRecurrenceDaysOfTheWeek

        public static Map<String,​String> buildLocalRecurrenceDaysOfTheWeek​(Locale locale)
        Returns a lookup from recurrence rule days of the week, to the proper days of the week in the specified locale
      • buildLocalRecurrenceWeekNames

        public static Map<Integer,​String> buildLocalRecurrenceWeekNames​(Locale locale)
        The lookup from the week in month number to week in month name in the specified locale
      • extractRecurrenceRule

        public static Map<String,​String> extractRecurrenceRule​(CalendarEntry entry)
        Returns the parsed calendar recurrence rule WARNING - Alfresco use only. Return type will likely shift to a real object in the near future
      • fixOutlookRecurrenceQuirks

        protected static Map<String,​String> fixOutlookRecurrenceQuirks​(Map<String,​String> params)
        Outlook does some crazy stuff, which is only just about permitted by the specification, and is hard to parse, especially for yearly events. Fix these to more normal cases where possible TODO: This method modifies the input, returning the Map perhaps implies a copy is returned. Decide whether this should be of return type 'void', or make a defensive copy before modification.
      • getRecurrencesOnOrAfter

        public static List<Date> getRecurrencesOnOrAfter​(CalendarEntry entry,
                                                         Date onOrAfter,
                                                         Date until,
                                                         boolean firstOnly,
                                                         Set<Date> ignoredDates)
        For the given Calendar Entry, return its subsequent Recurrence on or after the specified date, until the given limit. If it doesn't have any recurrences on or after the start date (either no recurrence rules, or the last recurrence date is before then), null will be returned. (The onOrAfter and until dates are treat as inclusive) If requested, can stop after the first hit
        Returns:
        The next recurrence on or after the given date, or null if there aren't any
