The ECHO Reference Client is a working Java-based Web application that interacts with ECHO to demonstrate an implementation of the following basic client operations:
The application is distributed with the source code and is intended to be used as a learning resource by anyone developing software clients for ECHO. While the software is a fully working client, it is not meant to be an operational ECHO client. The user interface is very plain and the system supports only a small subset of the full ECHO functionality.
For questions or comments concerning the ECHO Reference Client, please contact the ECHO Team (echo@echo.nasa.gov ).
The source code and help documents for the ECHO Reference Client are available to registered ECHO Client Partners by request to the ECHO Operations team. Developers looking to become a registered ECHO Client Partner should contact the ECHO team at echo@echo.nasa.gov.

The ECHO system allows user to enter a freeform string to define their contact, shipping, or billing address. In cooperation with the EOSDIS User Services Working Group, ECHO has created a list of approved country names that complies with the ISO 3166 standard. This list of names will appear in the ECHO supported PUMP and WIST tools for for user registration and order creation in WIST. ECHO will support all countries on this list and additional user-entered countries. ECHO Client Partners are encouraged to use this list in their applications to provide a consistent list of countries to all ECHO users. The full list can be downloaded below.
