I've been looking for a util to handle holidays in my application, and I found IBD at http://www.object-refinery.com/ibd/index.html. The problem is I think they're not developing it anymore, since all links are broken. Does anybody know a library that handles international holidays?
What would you like it to do? We have something in our app that computes "n" business days from today and skips holidays. Don't laugh if this algorithm is just dumb ...
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
Stan, how do you handle the situation where adding one pushes future date over the date of another holiday? Do you just call this algorithm repeatedly?
Ah, if you're trying to get out of having to even KNOW the holidays, I can't help. Do you really trust some other source to know the holidays you need to honor? We made our customer fill out a list of holidays. When the current date gets within n days of the last one on our list the holiday adjuster starts sending emails to somebody. Thousands of them. Heh heh.

With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
