Hi,
I am using a custom Duration utility class to handle duration strings
once they have been unmarshalled. Basically, it contains a method
public static Duration parseDuration( String str ) throws ParseException
to parse a duration string, and performing conversion to year, month,
day etc. fields with an accessor for the long value as well. Mail me if
it would be of help.

OK. So essentially you are just interested in the time span in terms of
some fixed measure. Thank you for the input.
BTW, what's your plan if you see "1 month"? How many seconds should be
one month?
