All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<CurrencyUnit>

public final class CurrencyUnit
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<CurrencyUnit>, java.io.Serializable

A unit of currency.

This class represents a unit of currency such as the British Pound, Euro or US Dollar.

The set of loaded currencies is provided by an instance of CurrencyUnitDataProvider. The provider used is determined by the system property org.joda.money.CurrencyUnitDataProvider which should be the fully qualified class name of the provider. The default provider loads the first resource named /org/joda/money/MoneyData.csv on the classpath.

This class is immutable and thread-safe.

Method Detail

registerCurrency

public static CurrencyUnit registerCurrency(java.lang.String currencyCode,
                                            int numericCurrencyCode,
                                            int decimalPlaces,
                                            java.util.List<java.lang.String> countryCodes)

Registers a currency and associated countries allowing it to be used.

This class only permits known currencies to be returned. To achieve this, all currencies have to be registered in advance.

Since this method is public, it is possible to add currencies in application code. It is recommended to do this only at startup, however it is safe to do so later as the internal implementation is thread-safe.

The currency code must be three upper-case ASCII letters, based on ISO-4217. The numeric code must be from 0 to 999, or -1 if not applicable.

Parameters:

currencyCode - the three-letter upper-case currency code, not null

numericCurrencyCode - the numeric currency code, from 0 to 999, -1 if none

decimalPlaces - the number of decimal places that the currency normally has, from 0 to 30 (normally 0, 2 or 3), or -1 for a pseudo-currency

countryCodes - the country codes to register the currency under, not null

Returns:

the new instance, never null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the code is already registered, or the specified data is invalid

registerCurrency

public static CurrencyUnit registerCurrency(java.lang.String currencyCode,
                                            int numericCurrencyCode,
                                            int decimalPlaces,
                                            java.util.List<java.lang.String> countryCodes,
                                            boolean force)

Registers a currency and associated countries allowing it to be used, allowing replacement.

This class only permits known currencies to be returned. To achieve this, all currencies have to be registered in advance.

Since this method is public, it is possible to add currencies in application code. It is recommended to do this only at startup, however it is safe to do so later as the internal implementation is thread-safe.

This method uses a flag to determine whether the registered currency must be new, or can replace an existing currency.

The currency code must be three upper-case ASCII letters, based on ISO-4217. The numeric code must be from 0 to 999, or -1 if not applicable.

Parameters:

currencyCode - the three-letter upper-case currency code, not null

numericCurrencyCode - the numeric currency code, from 0 to 999, -1 if none

decimalPlaces - the number of decimal places that the currency normally has, from 0 to 30 (normally 0, 2 or 3), or -1 for a pseudo-currency

countryCodes - the country codes to register the currency under, use of ISO-3166 is recommended, not null

force - true to register forcefully, replacing any existing matching currency, false to validate that there is no existing matching currency

Returns:

the new instance, never null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the code is already registered and force is false; or if the specified data is invalid

registerCurrency

public static CurrencyUnit registerCurrency(java.lang.String currencyCode,
                                            int numericCurrencyCode,
                                            int decimalPlaces,
                                            boolean force)
