JdbcXmlService - Stock ticker demo

JdbcXmlService is a java based server framework which I have been developing part-time since 2006. I have decided to show it the light of day via a demo stock ticker web application. This is a stock ticker with a difference. It can be programmed to display messages based on the historical stock movement data.

The business logic works by :

1. Retrieving the stock ticker and rules data from remote stock database
2. Retrieving the stock data from external web source based on stock ticker
3. Store a subset of the attributes retrieved in (.2) into a remostock history database
4. Execute rules based on the stock history
5. Display results
6. Repeat every 5 minutes

The above steps were accomplished using a custom xml configuration file (The details of which will be explored later) which JdbcXmlService executes.


Please note the demo will be available for the Evening US market opening times. Post a message on twitter or on the Facebook site to let me know your interests or thoughts on it. 




Please note that the application is currently down at the moment. The above screen cast shows a very brief overview of the demo and the Xquery rules and the database interaction - unfortunately the explanation text appears to very small - another screen cast will be uploaded later (and use YouTube's annotation editor)
