Duration(long durationInMilliSeconds) incorrectly works with negative arguments

Name: erR10175 Date: 10/22/2003



  Constructor javax.xml.datatype.Duration.Duration(long durationInMilliSeconds)
works with negative milliseconds incorrectly:
new Duration(-1L) creates duration "P0DT0.001S" instead of expected "PT0.001S";
new Duration(0x8000000000000000L) creates duration which is printed
as "P-106751991167DT-7H-12M-55.808S", expected is "-P106751991167DT7H12M55.808S".

The documentation of the constructor does not explicitly forbid to use negative
values for the argument 'durationInMilliSeconds'. So the expected behaviour
is to create a duration with negative sign and with length of the absolute
value of the durationInMilliSeconds.

This bug affects new test in JCK 1.5 (not yet integrated)
   api/javax_xml/datatype/Duration/index.html#DurationTests[Ctor007]

To reproduce the bug compile and run the following code as shown
in the log below:
------------------------------ test.java
import javax.xml.datatype.Duration;

public class test {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        System.out.println("created: "
            + new Duration(-1L)
            + ", expected: -PT0.001S");
        System.out.println("created: "
            + new Duration(0x8000000000000000L)
            + ", expected: -P106751991167DT7H12M55.808S");
    }
}
