Compare method always returning false.

[ddmeightball]

I am working on comparing two timeslot objects. Which always returns false.

A timeslot object has a begintime, endtime and a day. I created 4 timeslot objects. I set the value of two of the objectrs to different values to check the false condition. I set the values of the other two to the same values, to check the true condition. The problem is though, that even the two timeslot objects that I set to the same values to, returns false as well.

Here is my TimeSlotTest.java class where I create the four timeslot objects then set the values. I use IF condition statements to call the compare() methods for the timeslot objects. I then just print a message telling whether it is true or not.

public class TimeslotTest 
{
	public TimeslotTest()
	{
		Timeslot ts1 = new Timeslot();
		Timeslot ts2 = new Timeslot();
		Timeslot ts3 = new Timeslot();
		Timeslot ts4 = new Timeslot();

		//set begin end time for ts1
		ts1.setBeginTime(3,00);
		ts1.setEndTime(4,20);
		ts1.setDay("M");
		
		//set begin end time for ts2
		ts2.setBeginTime(4,30);
		ts2.setEndTime(6,00);
		ts2.setDay("M");
		
		//Print variables before comparing
		System.out.println("TS1.getBeginTime: " + ts1.getBeginTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS1.getEndTime: " + ts1.getEndTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS2.getBeginTime: " + ts2.getBeginTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS2.getEndTime: " + ts2.getEndTime().getTime());
		System.out.println();
		
		//compare ts1 and ts2 to see if they are equal
		if(ts1.compare(ts2))
		{
			System.out.println("TS1.Compare(TS2) returned True");
		}
		else if(!ts1.compare(ts2))
		{
			System.out.println("TS1.Compare(TS2) returned False");
		}
		System.out.println();
		
		//set begin end time for ts3
		ts3.setBeginTime(3,00);
		ts3.setEndTime(4,20);
		ts3.setDay("M");
		
		//set begin end time for ts4
		ts4.setBeginTime(3,00);
		ts4.setEndTime(4,20);
		ts4.setDay("M");
		
		//Print variables before comparing
		System.out.println("TS3.getBeginTime: " + ts3.getBeginTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS3.getEndTime: " + ts3.getEndTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS4.getBeginTime: " + ts4.getBeginTime().getTime());
		System.out.println("TS4.getEndTime: " + ts4.getEndTime().getTime());
		System.out.println();
		
		//compare ts1 and ts4 to see if they are equal
		if(ts3.compare(ts4))
		{
			System.out.println("TS3.Compare(TS4) returned True");
		}
		else if(!ts3.compare(ts4))
		{
			System.out.println("TS3.Compare(TS4) returned False");
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		new TimeslotTest();
	}	
}

Here is my Timeslot.java class that has the compare method at the end.

import java.util.*;

public class Timeslot {

	private String day;

	private Calendar beginTime = Calendar.getInstance();
	private Calendar endTime = Calendar.getInstance();
	
	private double duration = 1;
	
	public Timeslot() 
	{

	}
	
	public Calendar getBeginTime()
	{
		return beginTime;
	}
	public void setBeginTime(Calendar bTime) 
	{
		this.beginTime = bTime;
	}
	public void setBeginTime(int hour, int minute)
	{
		this.beginTime.set(1,1,1,hour, minute,0);
	}

	public Calendar getEndTime() 
	{
		return endTime;
	}
	public void setEndTime(Calendar eTime) 
	{
		this.endTime = eTime;
	}
	public void setEndTime(int hour, int minute)
	{
		this.endTime.set(1,1,1,hour, minute,0);
	}
	
	public String getDay() 
	{
		return day;
	}
	public void setDay(String dow)
	{
		this.day = dow;
	}
	
	public boolean compare(Timeslot tsCompare)
	{
		if(this.getBeginTime().equals(tsCompare.getBeginTime()) &  this.getEndTime().equals(tsCompare.getBeginTime()) & this.getDay().equals(tsCompare.getDay()))
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}	
}

I am wondering if I havent set all the values that a calendar object can take, so part of the beginTime or endTime variables are different. Then, if they are just slightly different, my compare() method will return false when I try to check to see if the two calendar objects are equal using .equals()

What do you think? Any ideas?
