    Parameters:
    
    year - the year portion of the calendar date

@Deprecated
public DateToken(Date date)
```
    Deprecated. since 6.1
    
    Constructs a new token with the non-null date value specified as a java.util.Date object. The date is interpreted relative to the default time zone as returned by TimeZone.getDefault(). If a null valued token is desired, use NULL.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - the date value of the token, expressed as a point in time relative to the default time zone
  - DateToken
```
@Deprecated

```
    Deprecated.
    
    Constructs a new token with the non-null date value specified as a java.util.Date object interpreted relative to the given time zone. If a null valued token is desired, use NULL.
    
    Parameters:
    
    date - the date value of the token, expressed as a point in time relative to the specified time zone
    
    tz - the time zone in which the date should be interpreted
- Method Detail
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataToken
    
    Indicates whether another object is equal to this token. Two null valued tokens are considered equal. This differs from the behavior of TokenComparator.equal(TokenValued,TokenValued) but makes it possible to store DataTokens in Maps.
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface DataToken
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the other object is a token of the same type and contains the same value, false otherwise.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataToken
    
    Returns a hash code for the token. This value is guaranteed to be consistent with that returned by TokenConverter.asHashCode(TokenValued).
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface DataToken
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for the token
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(DateToken that)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<DateToken>
  - parse
```
public static DateToken parse(String value)
```
    Converts a string representation of a date value into a token.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - a string value to interpret as a date; this must be in ISO8601 format.
    
    Returns:
    
    a token with the specified value
  - getType
```
public final ScalarTokenType getType()
```
    Description copied from interface: TokenValued
    
    Gets the data type of the token. This type will dictate the valid values that can be contained.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface ScalarValued
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface TokenValued
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface ScalarTyped
    
    Specified by:
    
    getType in interface TokenTyped
    
    Returns:
    
    the token type.
  - asEpochDays
```
public final long asEpochDays()
```
    Description copied from interface: DateValued
    
    Gets the contained date value as the number of days since Java epoch (January 1, 1970).
    
    Specified by:
    
    asEpochDays in interface DateValued
    
    Returns:
    
    the contained value as days since Java epoch. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), 0 is returned.
  - asDate
```
public final Date asDate()
```
    Description copied from interface: DateValued
    
    Gets the contained date value as a java.sql.Date relative to the default time zone. The time zone used by TimeZone.getDefault() is used.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asDate in interface DateValued
    
    Returns:
    
    the contained value as a java.sql.Date. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), null is returned.
  - asDate
```
public final Date asDate(TimeZone tz)
```
    Description copied from interface: DateValued
    
    Gets the contained date value as a java.sql.Date relative to the given time zone.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asDate in interface DateValued
    
    Parameters:
    
    tz - the time zone in which to interpret the date
    
    Returns:
    
    the contained value as a java.sql.Date. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), null is returned.
  - asCalendarDate
```
public final CalendarDate asCalendarDate()
```
    Description copied from interface: DateValued
    
    Gets the contained date value. This value represents the timezone free date portion of a timestamp.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asCalendarDate in interface DateValued
    
    Returns:
    
    the contained value as a calendar date. If null valued, as indicated by TokenValued.isNull(), null is returned.
  - isZero
```
public final boolean isZero()
```
    Description copied from interface: ScalarValued
    
    Indicates whether the value is the zero value for the type. Zero values are not stored in sparse representation formats.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isZero in interface ScalarValued
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the value is the zero value, false otherwise.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - isNull
```
public final boolean isNull()
```
    Description copied from interface: TokenValued
    
    Indicates whether the token is null valued. Tokens support null values analogous to SQL. Before accessing the value of the container, it is usually best to ensure it is not null valued using this method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isNull in interface TokenValued
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the token is null valued, false otherwise
