Java help
Hi Guys,
Was wondering if anyone could help me. Im very new to java and was wondering if you can write a script for it to calculate the differents in days two date filed boxes has entered in them. So say the start date was 01/12/2011 and finish was 12/12/2011 I want to have a box (which is numeric) show the amount of days there are the person wants to take off.
Im creating a LiveCycle form for holiday requests and this would be a pretty nice feature to have.
Any help in this matter would be great.
Kind Regards

Shouldn't be a problem, but you have to factor in weekends as well. Don't know Java very well, so hopefully someone who does can chime in.WIP:

I just wanted to mention that this is actually a non-trivial task as it goes to the nature of what a work day is. For example, my work considers the 26th, 27th and 30th of Dec to be paid holidays this year. So What if my request was for the 23rd-the 2nd? Would I be required to split my request into multiple requests? How does the Java or JavaScript know about your company's calendar for the current and next year? What is the definition of a workday? Does it include Saturdays for some workers? Do you have shifts? -

We work Mon-Fri 9 -5. I only really need it to exclude weekends as we get paid no matter when we go off sort of thing. On Bank Holidays dont work also but get paid. So weekends are the only thing to take out. I only ask this as I need to learn LiveCycle as Im taking over the work we do on it very soon.70-410 [x] 70-411 [x] 70-462[x] 70-331[x] 70-332[x]

Java and JavaScript are really not really related.I'll assume you know how to pull data from a textfield and cast it. In which case you want these..
Java you want java.time.*
