Would somebody please point me in the right direction regarding Calendar functionality available within plugin functions. I have a resonable amount of Appian and Java knowledge but am a complete novice when it comes to understanding the Appian public APIs.

I would like to create a custom function that calculates the number of the calendar minutes between 2 date/times on a specified calendar.

I think I need to use the "workingMinutesInRange" method of the "WorkingCalendar" object to do this but I'm struggling to understand how
I create a "WorkingCalendar" object for a given calendar from "ServiceContext", passed to the function, as my starting point?

Any help gratefully received. :)...

Rob,

I have shared with you a component (via email) which has a couple additional calendar expressions:

calworkseconds(start_datetime, end_datetime, calendar_name)
caladdminutes(start_datetime, minutes, calendar_name)
The calendar_name parameter is optional.
