Hi,

May not be exactly for that thread.

I am looking for some Web Service / JavaBean / Java lib
which would be able to determine whether particular day (e.g. today)
is a Business Day in Financial industry
(e.g. Banking) and be callable from Java program.

Any advise is very appreciated.


Thank you in advance,
Oleg.

It's easiest to set up a database of dates and their attributes. The
definition of what constitutes a "business day" will vary from
organization to organization and from project to project. Even if
there were such a library, and I don't know of one, it probably
wouldn't match your requirement exactly.

Create a database table similar to:

CREATE TABLE day
{
day DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
weekday CHAR (1) CHECK weekday IN ('T', 'F'),
weekend CHAR (1) CHECK weekend IN ('T', 'F'),
holiday CHAR (1) CHECK holiday IN ('T', 'F'),
busiday CHAR (1) CHECK busiday IN ('T', 'F')
);

Populate it with a few decades' worth of days. That's only about
36,525 rows per century.

That is country specific.

And I am skeptical about whether you can find something
like that.

Find the rules for your country and implement them.

That depends on location, what holidays they celebrate.

It's even more specific than that. I live in the United States,
in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In these parts, the Monday
closest to April 19 is a holiday (Patriots' Day) commemorating the
initial hostilities of the American Revolution. But elsewhere in
the country, the occasion goes largely unobserved: So it's a holiday
here and a "business day" most everywhere else.

Even on the holiday, some businesses operate and some do not.
Federal government offices are open, state and city offices are
closed (you can't appeal your real estate tax assessment at City
Hall, but you can mail the tax payment via the Federally-operated
Postal Service). Private businesses are open or closed in accordance
with a crazy quilt of regulation and tradition. A foot race called
the Boston Marathon runs through my town that day, bringing nearly
everything but the runners to a halt -- except that the policemen,
firemen, and emergency personnel of all kinds are *all* on duty;
it's no holiday for them ...

Similar variations can be found in other countries, too. I'm
told, for example, that in Germany the official holiday system takes
note of a person's religion: A day that is a business day for Catholics
may be a holiday for Protestants or Jews, and vice versa.
