Interface TimeProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultTimeProvider

public interface TimeProvider

Contract for obtaining the current time when validating the @Future and @Past constraints.

The default implementation will return the current system time. Plugging in custom implementations may be useful for instance in batch applications which need to run with a specific logical date, e.g. with yesterday's date when re-running a failed batch job execution.

Implementations must be safe for access from several threads at the same time.
