4-5. Displaying Content from the Database

Problem

You want to keep up on the latest news monitoring the local legislature and science regarding the detrimental effects of the lack of light in small cubical work areas.

Solution

Create a JavaFX RSS reader. The RSS feed location URLs will be stored in a database to be later retrieved. Listed here are the main classes used in this recipe:

  • javafx.scene.control.Hyperlink
  • javafx.scene.web.WebEngine
  • javafx.scene.web.WebView
  • org.w3c.dom.Document
  • org.w3c.dom.Node
  • org.w3c.dom.NodeList

This recipe will be using an embedded database called Derby from the Apache group at http://www.apache.org. As a requirement, you will need to download the Derby software. To download the software, visit http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html ...
