Title Body

This is a nasty one for me... I'm a PHP guy working in Java on a JSP project. I know how to do what I'm attempting through too much code and a complete lack of finesse. I'd prefer to do it right. Here is the situation: I'm writing a small display to show customers what days they can water their lawns based on their watering group (ABCDE) and what time of year it is. Our seasons look like this: Summer (5-1 to 8-31) Spring (3-1 to 4-30) Fall (9-1 to 10-31) Winter (11-1 to 2-28) An example might be: If I'm in group A, here would be my allowed times: Winter: Mondays only Spring: Tues, Thurs, Sat Summer: Any Day Fall: Tues, Thurs, Sat If I was writing this in PHP I would use arrays like this: //M=Monday,t=Tuesday,T=Thursday.... etc $schedule["A"]["Winter"]='M'; $schedule["A"]["Spring"]='tTS'; $schedule["A"]["Summer"]='Any'; $schedule["A"]["Fall"]='tTS'; $schedule["B"]["Winter"]='t'; I COULD make the days arrays (array("Tuesday","Thursday","Saturday")) etc, but it is not necessary for what I'm really trying to accomplish. I will also need to setup arrays to determine what season I'm in: $seasons["Summer"]["start"]=0501; $seasons["Summer"]["end"]=0801; Can anyone suggest a really cool way to do this? I will have today's date and the group letter. I will need to get out of my function a day (M) or a series of days (tTS), (Any).
