I’m working on a project and I need to use some webservices, such as Global Weather, to add to the service..
I’m using NetBeans, and Currently I can use this Web Service to call Weather + Cities By Country Name:
http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx?WSDL
Anyway, so this is what I’m doing now:
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Weather Finder</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Weather Test</h1> <%-- start web service invocation --%><hr/>
<%
try {
net.webservicex.GlobalWeather service = new net.webservicex.GlobalWeather();
net.webservicex.GlobalWeatherSoap port = service.getGlobalWeatherSoap();
java.lang.String countryName = "Australia";
java.lang.String result = port.getCitiesByCountry(countryName);
out.println("Result = "+result);
} catch (Exception ex) {
}
%>
<%-- end web service invocation --%><hr/>
<%-- start web service invocation --%><hr/>
<%
try {
net.webservicex.GlobalWeather service = new net.webservicex.GlobalWeather();
net.webservicex.GlobalWeatherSoap port = service.getGlobalWeatherSoap();
java.lang.String cityName = "Melbourne";
java.lang.String countryName = "Australia";
java.lang.String result = port.getWeather(cityName, countryName);
out.println("Result = "+result);
} catch (Exception ex) {}
%>
<%-- end web service invocation --%><hr/>
</body>
</html>
Which Returns:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Weather Finder</title>
</head>

Which is Great, But how do I get all that XML Information back into my Java Application so I can put it somewhere useful?
For example, how to I change the Result of the Weather into something more useful like an Array? Or ArrayList and call it somewhere else in my Application.
Thank you!
You can easily transform (parse) the
resultXML into a meaningful java object corresponding to the schema of the web service’s result (see http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/mapping/), and pass it along to a service in your application. Then operate as you want on you (list of) java objects.
