You're scaring Ted, Chuck. Mention your assumptions: "Assuming you're not using a library that provides a genuine 1-day resolution date type, such as Joda Time."
> Java does not care what your database thinks. Java ONLY has a point in time. ONLY. JodaTime extends Java with some more, uh, relaxed attitudes towards dates.
Stop scaring Ted, Chuck! There's nothing wrong with Joda's attitude. Sometimes a 1-day resolution date is precisely the type you need.
