Question

What is the best strategy to create a screen part of a java swing application, that repaints itself every minute with new information from a web page? (A yahoo stock quote for example)
Thank you.

Answer 1

1. Create a Separate thread apart from the GUI thread(ie Event Dispatcher Thread).

2. Make it call the service that give the yahoo stock with delay of 60 sec, use Thread.sleep(60000);

3. call repaint();

Edited:

new Thread(new Runnable(){

   public void run(){

    try{
          while (true){

        Thread.sleep(60000);
        yahoo() // CALL TO YAHOO SENSEX 

        repaint();
          }
       }catch(Exception ex){

         }
 }).start();
