		LocalDateTime ldTime = LocalDateTime.now();
		System.out.println("Current date time: "+ldTime);

		// add 10 days to current time
		LocalDateTime advLdTime = ldTime.plusDays(10);
		System.out.println("Date time after 10 days: "+advLdTime);

		// add 5 hours to crrent time
		LocalDateTime advLdTime1 = ldTime.plusHours(5);
		System.out.println("Date time after adding 5 hours: "+advLdTime1);

		// date one month before
		LocalDateTime prevLdTime = ldTime.minusMonths(1);
		System.out.println("Date one month before: "+prevLdTime);

		// date two week before
		LocalDateTime prevLdTime1 = ldTime.minusWeeks(2);
		System.out.println("Date two weeks before: "+prevLdTime1);
	}
}

Output:
Current date time: 2015-12-16T09:38:15.975
Date time after 10 days: 2015-12-26T09:38:15.975
Date time after adding 5 hours: 2015-12-16T14:38:15.975
Date one month before: 2015-11-16T09:38:15.975
Date two weeks before: 2015-12-02T09:38:15.975

doPost Vs doGet methods
doGet() method is used to get information, while doPost() method is used for posting information. doGet() requests can't send large amount of information and is limited to 240-255 characters. However, doPost()requests passes all of its data, of unlimited length. A doGet() request is appended to the request URL in a query string and this allows the exchange is visible to the client, whereas a doPost() request passes directly over the socket connection as part of its HTTP request body and the exchange are invisible to the client.
