title: Finding Latitude and Longitude via Zip Codes in Java
body: <p>I'm having trouble retrieving latitude and longitude values from a given zip code. I'm attempting to do this via a Servlet, i.e. a zip code value is passed into the Servlet, and the Java code then uses the Google Geocode API to retrieve the latitude and longitude values, preferably in a String.</p>
  
  <p>I've roamed all over the net for a simple sample, but there seems to be more Javascript and PHP methods for this than Java.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please paste a simple sample of how to extract the lat/long values in this manner?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!!</p>
