Method Detail

getCountry

String getCountry()

format

String format(long number,
              String picture,
              int groupSize,
              String groupSeparator,
              String letterValue,
              String ordinal)
Format a number into a string

Parameters:
number - The number to be formatted
picture - The format token. This is a single component of the format attribute of xsl:number, e.g. "1", "01", "i", or "a"
groupSize - number of digits per group (0 implies no grouping)
groupSeparator - string to appear between groups of digits
letterValue - The letter-value specified to xsl:number: "alphabetic" or "traditional". Can also be an empty string or null.
ordinal - The value of the ordinal attribute specified to xsl:number The value "yes" indicates that ordinal numbers should be used; "" or null indicates that cardinal numbers
Returns:
the formatted number. Note that no errors are reported; if the request is invalid, the number is formatted as if the string() function were used.

monthName

String monthName(int month,
                 int minWidth,
                 int maxWidth)
Get a month name or abbreviation

Parameters:
month - The month number (1=January, 12=December)

               int maxWidth)
Get a day name or abbreviation

Parameters:

                   int maxWidth)
Get an am/pm indicator

Parameters:
