Creating a Client for the New Service

Using the code from the BasicAPI application as an outline, you can create a client for your weather service. The code in Listing 8.4 shows how to access the service.

Listing 8.4: The CAService client.

 import com.caucho.burlap.client.BurlapProxyFactory; import java.net.MalformedURLException; import weather.WeatherServiceAPI; public class CAClient {   static String url = "http://localhost:8080/weather/ /WeatherService";   public static void main(String[] args) {     WeatherServiceAPI weather = null;     BurlapProxyFactory factory = new BurlapProxyFactory();     try {       weather = (WeatherServiceAPI)        factory.create(WeatherServiceAPI.class, url);     } catch (MalformedURLException e) {         System.out.println("Bad URL");     }     if (weather != null) {       try {       System.out.println("Rain In Denver = "         + weather.getRainTotals("Denver"));       System.out.println("Current Weather In Atlanta = "         + weather.getCurrentWeather("Atlanta"));    } catch (Exception e) {      e.printStackTrace();    }   }  } } 

As you can see, this code is similar to what you wrote in the BasicAPI client. Instead of using BasicAPI, though, you use the WeatherServiceAPI interface.
