Java – pass joda time objects between app layers

I'm thinking about using joda time

Solution

At the beginning, only the most appropriate type (joda objects in this case) is returned

If you know someone has a problem (which may not happen often), you can add a converter method to the interface (so you have gettime(), now getjavatime() or gettimeinmillis())

Or add a general helper method that accepts an object (you can treat an unknown instance as anywhere in the code without importing the actual joda class) and returns a normal Java object (Java. Util. Date)
