Java Stock ticker
I am trying to write an application which would retrieve stock prices and other related data every 15 or 20 and generate some kind of statistics...well my problem is that I cant find like a free site or service where I could get the information in form of .xml or something, coz i really dont wanna do page scrapping....
if anybody know of any paid web service which gives me the stock prices every 15 or 30 min....any help or suggestions will be useful
thank you

Noone is going to give you that data for free as it will have cost them a lot of money.
And screen crapping the data is a breach of contract with the site providing that data in almost all cases.

http://www.markit.com contact sales. Web services and other ways to get the data are available (but of course at a price).
I'm sure others like Reuters and Bloomberg offer similar services.
