Google weather taglib ver. 1.1

Custom JSP tags library lets you obtain weather information from Google service. E.g. the following URL requests weather data for Moscow. Taglib lets obtain XML data from Google, parse them and made them available for the application via plain JavaBean. For example:

<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="g" %>

<g:GWeather id="A">Moscow</g:GWeather>

<% java.util.Iterator it = A.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
com.cj.gweather.GoogleWeatherBean gb = (com.cj.gweather.GoogleWeatherBean)it.next();
%>

<br/><%=(gb.getDayOfWeek()!=null)?gb.getDayOfWeek():"Today"%> <%=gb.getConditionData()%>

<%
}
%>
