update Exchange rates

Classic Servoy

Anyone who knows how to update Exchange rates automatically in Servoy? With a XML file?

TIA!

That would be great. I do believe that a web service would need to be invoked to accomlish this. From what I understand, you would have to use the headless client to accomplish web service intergation with your backend, unless you used something else on the front end like .net technology (depending on your backend).

You should be able to do this with the http plugin. Try:

ECB: Euro foreign exchange reference rates
The Euro foreign exchange reference rates are based on the regular daily … available for parsing:

http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml

which will give you

The European Central bank:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<gesmes:Envelope xmlns:gesmes=“http://www.gesmes.org/xml/2002-08-01” xmlns=“http://www.ecb.int/vocabulary/2002-08-01/eurofxref”>
gesmes:subjectReference rates</gesmes:subject>
gesmes:Sender
gesmes:nameEuropean Central Bank</gesmes:name>
</gesmes:Sender>







































</gesmes:Envelope>

you can easily parse this with Servoy and java script.
