If you’ve ever needed to raise a couple bucks for a project, a birthday or a fundraiser, you should check out dropcash<\/a> (by Andre Torres<\/a>). dropcash lets you set up a personal fundraising campaign using paypal and TypeKey. The campaign can be dropped into your site using a simple JavaScript include just like Flickr or Google Adsense, but you can programatically access the status of your campaign using the XML feed. There are a couple different implementations of the API<\/a> (COM, MovableType, TextPattern and ColdFusion, more…<\/a>), but no Java so I wrapped up a Java version and a JSP version. JSP is simpler of the two:
\n<%@ taglib prefix=\"c\" uri=\"http:\/\/java.sun.com\/jsp\/jstl\/core\" %>
\n<%@ taglib prefix=\"x\" uri=\"http:\/\/java.sun.com\/jsp\/jstl\/xml\" %>
\n<c:import var=\"dropcash\" url=\"http:\/\/www.dropcash.com\/campaign\/ajohnson1200\/test\/xml\"\/>
\n<x:parse var=\"dropcashxml\" doc=\"${dropcash}\"\/>
\ncampaignid: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/@id\" \/>
\ntypekey_user: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/typekey_user\"\/>
\nreceiver: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/receiver\"\/>
\ntitle: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/title\"\/>
\ngoal: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/goal\"\/>
\ntotal_collected: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/total_collected\"\/>
\ndescription: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/description\"\/>
\npercentage: <x:out select=\"$dropcashxml\/\/percentage\"\/>
\n<\/code>
\nJava less straightforward:
\nURL url = new URL(\"http:\/\/www.dropcash.com\/campaign\/ajohnson1200\/test\/xml\");
\nHttpURLConnection uc = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
\nuc.connect();
\nInputStream is = uc.getInputStream();
\nDocumentBuilderFactory docfactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
\nInputStream inputXML = url.openStream();
\nDocumentBuilder docbuilder = docfactory.newDocumentBuilder();
\nDocument document = docbuilder.parse(inputXML);
\nElement campaign = document.getDocumentElement();
\nSystem.out.println(\"campaignid = \" + campaign.getAttribute(\"id\"));
\nNodeList nodes = campaign.getChildNodes();
\nfor (int i=0; i
