Make sure the google api jar file is in your /WEB-INF/lib directory first
and restart Tomcat. Then, in the page you want to use it, you call it with
something like this:
<%@ page language="java"
import="com.google.soap.search.*,java.io.*,java.net.*" errorPage=""
contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" %>
You can figure out how to code it yourself, but because I had such a fun
time figuring it out on my own, I'll help you get started:
<%
GoogleSearch gs = new GoogleSearch();
gs.setKey("#############################");
gs.setQueryString(request.getParameter("keywords"));
GoogleSearchResult gsr = gs.doSearch();
GoogleSearchResultElement gsre[] = gsr.getResultElements();
for(i=0; i < gsre.length; i++) {
out.print("<p><a href=\"");
out.print(gsre[i].getURL());
out.print("\">");
out.print(gsre[i].getTitle());
out.println("</a><br />");
out.print(gsre[i].getSnippet());
out.println("</p>");
}
%>
That should be enough to get you started. You can customize it as you wish
by looking at the Google API documentation (this should've been in the API
download).
