jNOAAForecast

(last updated: 2007-07-24)

Purpose: Investigate how to get the NOAA XML forecast using the Java language.

Overview

The NOAA provides forecast data in XML format through a SOAP service (see http://www.weather.gov/xml). The jNOAAForecast project shows three methods to use this service using the Java language.

Method 1: Uses the SOAP API that is built into Java 1.6
Method 2: Uses a direct call to a PHP web page
Method 3: Uses Apache Axis to handle SOAP messaging and the connection.
