Using Java API for getting Weather information in Oracle ADF-wunderground-core

hello everyone, here is nice tutorial for all ADF techies-

i have developed an application in ADF that retrieves weather information of a country's weather stations.

as-temperature, humidity, dew, rain rate, wind speed etc using wunderground-core 

API . This API fetch weather data for a weater station by given month and year or data for all the stations of a country.

Feature of this wunderground-core-

1. Very simple to use
2. Date Listener support
3. Fetch weather data for all stations of country
4. can be used with desktop or web application
5. Ajax supported
6. Real Time weather values

Snap-

 Change Country-

Download wunderground-core API- https://code.google.com/p/wunderground-core/downloads/list

and download jar distribution with all dependencies

• Now start , create a fusion web application and add jar file to  classpath

• Now create a bounded taskflow and a .jsff page inside this , now see the simple code to get all weather station of acountry and their weather data



        /*  create an instance of WeatherStationService */
        WeatherStationService weatherStationService = new WeatherStationService();

        /*  find all weather stations */
        List<WeatherStation> stations = weatherStationService.findAllWeatherStationsByCountry("INDIA");

        
        for (WeatherStation weatherStation : stations) {
            System.out.println(weatherStation.getStationId() + "\t" + "\t" + weatherStation.getCity() + "\t" +
                               weatherStation.getCountry());

            HttpDataReaderService dataReader = new HttpDataReaderService();
            dataReader.setWeatherStation(weatherStation);
            DataSet current = dataReader.getCurrentData();

            System.out.println(current.getDateTime() + "Temperature- " + current.getTemperature() + "Humidity-" +
                               current.getHumidity());



• I have used this code on my af:commandButton for getting weather data, and a table on page to show this information on page using list (arrayList) , rest is same and simple like other ADF Application
• Download Sample Application and see it, you will also learn that how to show a table using List(Java) Sample ADF Application





• See source of .jsff page for tables'use and values-
