This example is a custom TemporalQuery that will determine if a date is a market day based on the New York Stock Exchange trading hours. Implementing the TemporalQuery interface with the queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method allows for a way to extract information from a temporal object. The queryFrom method compares the passed-in date against a list of observed holidays returning true if a match, otherwise false. Please note, this was strictly an example and you will want to verify the rules to determine market day rules are correct for your business.
Setup
public class MarketDayQuery implements TemporalQuery<Boolean> {
static List<MonthDay> nyxHolidays = Lists.newArrayList(
MonthDay.of(Month.JANUARY, 1), // New Years Day January 1
MonthDay.of(Month.JANUARY, 20), // Martin Luther King, Jr. Day January 20
MonthDay.of(Month.FEBRUARY, 17), // Washington's Birthday February 17
MonthDay.of(Month.APRIL, 18), // Good Friday April 18
MonthDay.of(Month.MAY, 26), // Memorial Day May 26
MonthDay.of(Month.JULY, 4), // Independence Day July 4**
MonthDay.of(Month.SEPTEMBER, 1), // Labor Day September 1
MonthDay.of(Month.NOVEMBER, 27), // Thanksgiving Day November 27*
MonthDay.of(Month.DECEMBER, 25) // Christmas December 25***
);
