public final class Utilities extends Object
Common Utilities, primarily immutability functionality.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
static byte[] |
copy(byte[] bytes)
Copy method for Byte Arrays, to have a central way to protect the data
structures from external changes.
|
static Date |
copy(Date date)
Copy method for standard Date Objects, to have a central way to protect
those pesky mutable Objects.
|
static Date |
newDate()
Although this method may appear to be silly, it serves the purpose of
acting as an intermediate between the old Date Object and the newer
Java8 Time functionality.
|
static Date |
newDate(long millisSinceEpoch)
Although this method may appear to be silly, it serves the purpose of
acting as an intermediate between the old Date Object and the newer
Java8 Time functionality.

public static Date newDate(long millisSinceEpoch)
millisSinceEpoch - Milli Seconds since epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00)public static Date newDate()
public static Date copy(Date date)
date - Date Object to protectpublic static byte[] copy(byte[] bytes)
Copy method for Byte Arrays, to have a central way to protect the data structures from external changes.
Note, that as the API is only exposed via a WebService (SOAP/REST), there is currently no need for a proper copying.
Further, the copy here is fake - meaning that it doesn't do anything. This is important, as some byte arrays must be actively destroyed, which is harder if multiple actual copies exists.
