Compendium Technologies' Weather Software Featured By City Of Temecula
February 21, 2001
Temecula, CA
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
