Re: Calling RSS service in GWT from the server side

As promised, here is the code that finally did the trick for me.
The key was using the java.net.URL Object. This object does work when
compiled on the server side.

The code:

The relavant imports:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.util.Iterator;

The Function:

public Weather getWeatherInSingapore() {
System.out.println("Server Reached");

String request = "http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?
w=1062617&u=c";

Weather weatherReport = new Weather();

try {
URL url = new URL(request);
URLConnection yc = url.openConnection();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(yc.getInputStream()));

String xml = "";
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
xml = xml + line;
}
br.close();

weatherReport = this.convertYAHOOWeather(xml);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

return weatherReport;
}

Again:
WeatherReport is a custom object I've written myself to contain the
necessary Information
The convertYAHOOWeather is a private function that parses the XML
reply form the YAHOO RSS (Using dom4j).
