public abstract class TimeSpan

Time Span type. A time span can have an optional start and stop time and a flexible time reference point.

XML Serialization

Time Span instances can be serialized as an XML document. This XML document can also be used to recreate a Time Span object. The following XML document shows an example Time Span in XML form.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<core:AbsoluteTimeSpan xmlns:core="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/core">
<referencePoint>CURRENT</referencePoint>
<startTime>2007-01-01T12:00:00.000+01:00</startTime>
<stopTime>2007-01-01T13:00:00.000+01:00</stopTime>
</core:AbsoluteTimeSpan>
