Compendium Technologies' Weather Software Featured By City Of Temecula
February 21, 2001
The City of Temecula, north of San Diego, California in Riverside County, has chosen TemeculaWeather.com, a Compendium-sponsored web site, to give visitors, residents and businesses a taste of Temecula's current weather conditions and climate. The City of Temecula asked for and received permission from Compendium Technologies to put links to the TemeculaWeather.com weather pages, which include current weather conditions and archived weather climate data dating back to 1999. The source of the weather information is a serial feed from an Ultimeter 800 weather station, produced by the Peet Bros. Company, Inc. of St. Cloud, Florida. The technologically advanced software behind TemeculaWeather.com is designed, written and maintained by Compendium Technologies, Inc. The web-enabled weather archive is written end-to-end in the Java programming language. Serial capture from the weather station is accomplished with the Java Comm API, a standard extension for Java. Store and forward replication techniques are used to upload data to a web server every ten minutes. Java's serialization techniques are used for disk storage along with persistent data structures developed by Compendium. High reliability and redundancy are designed into the system to minimize downtime. The weather software easily recovers from internet outages, even if they last for hours or days, with no loss of data. Other technologies utilized in this effort include Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) for data access and a Java weather servlet, based on the Java Servlet API, in coordination with the Apache Web Server and Apache Jserv servlet engine. Compendium Technologies, Inc. offers a wide variety of custom software services for scalable distributed computing and the internet, including Java, COM/DCOM, CORBA and Beowulf technologies. Consider hiring Compendium to meet your custom software needs.
