XML Messaging

A PowerWarning application using servlets and SAX

The PowerWarning Application is from “XML and Java” by Maruyama, Tamura, and Uramoto, Addison-Wesley.


XML Messaging Part I

The PowerWarning application allows users to registertheir geographical position and their temperature concerns.

Users will receive e-mail when the temperature exceeds the userspecified parameters.

This example is from

“XML and Java” by Maruyama, Tamura, and Uramoto, Addison-Wesley.

The web container is called Jigsaw from the W3C.


[1] <html>[2] <head>[3] <title>Weather Report</title>[4] </head>[5] <body>[6] <h2>Weather Report -- White Plains, NY </h2>[7] <table border=1>[8] <tr><td>Date/Time</td><td align=center>11 AM EDT Sat Jul 25

1998</td></tr>[9] <tr><td>Current Tem.</td><td align=center>70°</td></tr>[10] <tr><td>Today’s High</td><td align=center>82°</td></tr>[11] <tr><td>Today’s Low</td><td align=center>62°</td><tr>[12] </table>[13] </body>[14] </html>

Suppose that we know that the weather information is availablefrom the web at http://www.xweather.com/White_Plains_NY_US.html.


•Strategy 1:

For the current temperature of White Plains, go to line 9,column 46 of the page and continue until reaching the nextampersand.

•Strategy 2:

For the current temperature of the White Plains, go to thefirst <table> tag, then go to the second <tr> tag within thetable, and then go to the second <tg> tag within the row.

Neither of these seems very appealing…


<?xml version=“1.0”?>

<!DOCTYPE WeatherReport SYSTEM

“http>//www.xweather.com/WeatherReport.dtd”>

<WeatherReport>

<City>White Plains</City>

<State>NY</State>

<Date>Sat Jul 25 1998</Date>

<Time>11 AM EDT</Time>

<CurrTemp unit=“Farenheit”>70</CurrTemp>

<High unit=“Farenheit”>82</High>

<Low unit=“Farenheit”>62</Low>

</Weather Report>

XML would help


•Strategy 3:

For the current temperature of White Plains, N.Y., go to the <CurrTemp> tag.

Registrations (Servlet)

On servlet initialization, we will start up an object whose responsibility it is to periodically wake up and tell the watcherobjects to check the weather.

The servlet will create a watcher object for each registered user. The watcher object will be told of each user’s locationand temperature requirements. Each watcher object will runin its own thread and may or may not notify its assigneduser by email.


Registrations (Servlet)

/* This servlet is called by an HTML form. The form passes the user email, state, city, temperature and duration.*/

import java.io.*;import java.util.*;import javax.servlet.*;import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class PowerWarn extends HttpServlet {


static Hashtable userTable; /* Holds (email,watcher) pairs */

public void init(ServletConfig conf) throws ServletException { super.init(conf); PowerWarn.userTable = new Hashtable(); Scheduler scheduler = new Scheduler(); scheduler.start(); /* Run the scheduler */ } /* The scheduler can see the hash table. It has package access. */


public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException {

/* Collect data from the HTML form */

String par_user = req.getParameter("User"); String par_state = req.getParameter("State"); String par_city = req.getParameter("City"); int par_temp = Integer.parseInt( req.getParameter("Temperature")); int par_duration = Integer.parseInt( req.getParameter("Duration"));


/* Assign a watcher to this user. */ Watcher watcher = new Watcher(par_user, par_state, par_city, par_temp, par_duration);

/* Place the (email,watcher) pair in the hash table. */ PowerWarn.userTable.put(par_user, watcher);

res.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter writer = res.getWriter(); writer.print("<html><head></head><body><b>” + “You'll be notified by email</b></body></html>"); writer.close(); }

Fifteen seconds for testing.


The Watcher Class

The Watcher objects make HTTP requests to get XML.

SAX.

JavaMail.

How should we handle the XML? SAX or DOM?

How do we send email?
