      • getUserDefinedTime

        public static String getUserDefinedTime​(String formatString)

                                        IllegalStateException
        Retrieves the current time formatted using the given format string.

        The first time this method is used with a given format string, it will be used to create a formatter that will generate the time string. That formatter will then be put into a list so that it will be maintained automatically for future use.

        Parameters:
        formatString - The string that defines the format of the time string to retrieve.
        Returns:
        The formatted time string.

      • removeUserDefinedFormatter

        public static void removeUserDefinedFormatter​(String formatString)
                                       throws IllegalStateException
        Removes the user-defined time formatter from this time thread so that it will no longer be maintained. This is a safe operation because if the same format string is used for multiple purposes then it will be added back the next time a time is requested with the given format.
        Parameters:
        formatString - The format string for the date formatter to remove.
        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - If the time service has not been started.

        Parameters:
        serverContext - The server context.

      • stop

        public static void stop()
        Stops the time service if it has not already been stopped.
