Conversion

Purpose

A general purpose conversion utilities.

Methods

Binding name: p6.conversion

---

getBytesFromUUID

Convert an UUID to a byte array.

Syntax

byte[] p6.conversion.getBytesFromUUID(UUID uuid)

Example

// Convert a transaction UUID to bytes for binary storage
def transactionId = UUID.randomUUID()
def bytes = p6.conversion.getBytesFromUUID(transactionId)
p6.log.debug 'UUID as bytes: ' + bytes.length + ' bytes'

---

getUUIDFromBytes

Convert a byte array to an UUID.

Syntax

UUID p6.conversion.getUUIDFromBytes(byte[] bytes)

Example

// Restore a UUID from its binary representation
def transactionId = p6.conversion.getUUIDFromBytes(storedBytes)
p6.log.debug 'Restored UUID: ' + transactionId.toString()

---

bigIntegerToZDT

Convert an epoch (in millisec) to a date time.

Syntax

ZonedDateTime p6.conversion.bigIntegerToZDT(BigInteger epoch)

Example

// Convert an epoch timestamp from an EDI message to a date
def epoch = 1550160528000
def invoiceDate = p6.conversion.bigIntegerToZDT(epoch)
p6.log.debug 'Invoice date: ' + invoiceDate.toString()

---

zdtToBigInteger

Convert a date time to epoch (in millisec).

Syntax

BigInteger p6.conversion.zdtToBigInteger(ZonedDateTime zdt)

Example

// Convert the current date to epoch for use in an EDI envelope
def now = java.time.ZonedDateTime.now()
def epoch = p6.conversion.zdtToBigInteger(now)
p6.log.debug 'Current epoch: ' + epoch
