Geonames Java API goes open source
Geonames.org is a popular GIS web service built on the simple REST framework. Not only it’s excellent platform for building innovative web applications that require access to GIS data and geocode services, but also it’s a poor man’s solution to ArcGIS Server (sort of).
A Java API for accessing Geonames web service has been released. Check out the project page at its SF.net page. Look at this page for a quick code example. If you need more information, see its Javadoc page.
