How To RSS With Rome, Demonstrated by Fatima on Java.net

Many people have asked how I implemented RSS in Fatima (JavaPress) on Java.net since the object model for Sun’s Rome API is a little.. dense, and suited more for abstract aggrigation in your applications like Technorati. However, Rome is extremely powerful and offers lots of transformation and organization of your RSS feeds (no matter if you generate them or you grab them). Well, below is a general class that implements everything you would need to start generating your own RSS feeds using the ROME API, and for everyone that wants to get started quick this example should help you out.

doSyndication() is where you’ll want to focus your attention.

NOTE: This generates both regular RSS and shows you how to generate RSS with the embed tag for Podcasts!

Do to formatting issues in Internet Explorer, I can no longer show the code in this entry. You may download it from the Fatima project on Java.net directly or view it at JavaLobby.

    Thanks for the tutorial Brandon, I’m glad you found ROME useful.
    Feel free to chime in our user mailing list to share your gripes about the API (dense?). An API is never perfect and there is always room for improvement.
    I’ll add your tutorial to our wiki page.
