This is a piece of my actual code. It's rather self-explanatory.
public static String quote(String symbol) {
try {
java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(
"http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=_
xml&mode=stock&symbol=" + symbol);
com.borland.xml.XmlData data =
new com.borland.xml.XmlData(url).getKid("equity-quote");
return quote.getKidValue("trade-datetime") + " " +
quote.getKidValue("last-sale-price"));
} catch (Exception e) {
return "(no data)";
}
}
It uses my com.borland.xml package, which is also available here:
