java.lang.Object
  |
  +--com.ezprotocols.ezclock.EzClock

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class EzClock

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

Queries Time server to get the exact time. EzClock retrieves the time from an atomic clock and can automatically set your system time.

Example:

  try{
     EzClock ezClock = new EzClock();
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
     ezClock.setTimeServer("time-b.nist.gov");
     ezClock.setTimePort(37);
     Date currentTime = ezClock.getLocalTime();
     System.out.println("Atomic time : "+sdf.format(currentTime));
 }catch(EzClockException ex){
     System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
 }
