Can applications be built with this tool that adhere to the Microsoft Year 2000 Compliance Statement?
Yes
How the product runtime handles dates:
Java handles dates through several classes that are part of the standard Java class libraries. Classes include java.util.Date, java.util.Calendar, java.util.GregorianCalendar, java.util.TimeZone, and java.text.SimpleDateFormat. These classes allow for the conversion of date strings to or from fields of a record, for the formatting of strings in different locales, for date/time arithmetic, and for handling time zones throughout the world.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
Two-digit shortcuts are not available without explicit programmer truncation of fields or strings. For example, years are handled within the java.util.Date class as the number of years since 1900, so the year 2000 is specified as 100.
Two-digit shortcuts would have to be synthesized by explicit programmer action along the lines of truncating a 4-digit string representation of a year down to 2 digits.
Recommended practices to develop year 2000 compliant applications:
The standard Java classes have taken year 2000 issues into consideration. Straightforward usage of java.util.Date and the other classes mentioned above will enable year 2000 compliance.
Common development errors dealing with year 2000 date issues:
Know and understand how java.util.Date.parse() parses strings. Some of its rules may catch the unsuspecting programmer, as numbers greater than 70 are regarded as a year number, but if it is greater than 1900, 1900 is subtracted from it.
See The Java Language Specification by James Gosling, Bill Joy, and Guy Steele, Addison-Wesley, Reading: MA, 1996, pages 622 and following for more details about this primary date class and its functionality, or see your online Java references.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
Inspect calls to the java.util.Date() constructor, checking its first argument which will either be the year as an integer, or a string which gets parsed by java.util.Date.parse(). In either case make sure that the above conventions are consistently adhered to.
