Factory that creates new javax.xml.datatype Objects that map XML to/from Java Objects.  A new instance of the DatatypeFactory is created through the newInstance() method that uses the following implementation resolution mechanisms to determine an implementation: 

    If the system property specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_PROPERTY, "javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory", exists, a class with the name of the property value is instantiated. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException. 
   
      Use the configuration file "jaxp.properties". The file is in standard Properties format and typically located in the conf directory of the Java installation. It contains the fully qualified name of the implementation class with the key being the system property defined above. 

     The jaxp.properties file is read only once by the JAXP implementation
     and its values are then cached for future use.  If the file does not exist
     when the first attempt is made to read from it, no further attempts are
     made to check for its existence.  It is not possible to change the value
     of any property in jaxp.properties after it has been read for the first time.
   
   
     Use the service-provider loading facility, defined by the ServiceLoader class, to attempt to locate and load an implementation of the service using the default loading mechanism: the service-provider loading facility will use the current thread's context class loader to attempt to load the service. If the context class loader is null, the system class loader will be used. 
 In case of service
    configuration error, a DatatypeConfigurationException will be thrown. 
   
      The final mechanism is to attempt to instantiate the Class specified by DATATYPEFACTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_CLASS. Any Exception thrown during the instantiation process is wrapped as a DatatypeConfigurationException.

    Obtain a new instance of a DatatypeFactory from class name. This function is useful when there are multiple providers in the classpath. It gives more control to the application as it can specify which provider should be loaded. Once an application has obtained a reference to a DatatypeFactory it can use the factory to configure and obtain datatype instances. 
Tip for Trouble-shooting
Setting the jaxp.debug system property will cause this method to print a lot of debug messages to System.err about what it is doing and where it is looking at. 
 If you have problems try:
java -Djaxp.debug=1 YourProgram ....

    Create a Java instance of XML Schema builtin datatype time.
A DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED value indicates that field is not set. 
Params: hours – number of hours
minutes – number of minutes
seconds – number of seconds
milliseconds – number of milliseconds
timezone – offset in minutes. DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED indicates optional field is not set.
Throws: IllegalArgumentException – If any individual parameter's value is outside the maximum value constraint for the field as determined by the Date/Time Data Mapping table in XMLGregorianCalendar or if the composite values constitute an invalid XMLGregorianCalendar instance as determined by XMLGregorianCalendar.isValid().
See Also: DatatypeConstants.FIELD_UNDEFINED

Returns:	A new instance of the `DatatypeFactory` builtin system-default implementation.
Since:	9
Throws:	DatatypeConfigurationException – If the implementation is not available or cannot be instantiated.
See Also:	newInstance(String factoryClassName, ClassLoader classLoader)
Returns:	New instance of a `DatatypeFactory`
Params:	factoryClassName – fully qualified factory class name that provides implementation of `javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory`. classLoader – `ClassLoader` used to load the factory class. If `null` current `Thread`'s context classLoader is used to load the factory class.
Throws:	DatatypeConfigurationException – if `factoryClassName` is `null`, or the factory class cannot be loaded, instantiated.

Params:	durationInMilliSeconds – Duration in milliseconds to create.
Returns:	New `Duration` representing `durationInMilliSeconds`.
Params:	isPositive – Set to `false` to create a negative duration. When the length of the duration is zero, this parameter will be ignored. years – of this `Duration` months – of this `Duration` days – of this `Duration` hours – of this `Duration` minutes – of this `Duration` seconds – of this `Duration`
Throws:	IllegalArgumentException – If the values are not a valid representation of a `Duration`: if all the fields (years, months, ...) are null or if any of the fields is negative. UnsupportedOperationException – If implementation cannot support requested values.
Returns:	New `Duration` created from the specified values.
Params:	lexicalRepresentation – Lexical representation of a duration.
