Funny you should ask. Allen and I have been discussing a proposal to make Roller modular and allow you to chose Roller-Planet and Roller- Blog separately. I hope to have something on the wiki this week.

In the interim you could use the command-line PlanetTool that still sits in the sandbox. You configure it with an XML file and run it hourly via cron.

Or, another idea is the ROME Fetcher -- that might be the quickest way to add a feed cache to your existing app.

I've been trying to do an aggregator for a new website.  I've been
using Rome, WebWork and method-level caching with Spring AOP.  While
it works nice, it doesn't cache the results through a server restart -

Rather than trying to develop a more elegant solution - the best
solution would probably be to plugin Roller's Planet.  Is it possible
to just install a "planet.war"?  Or integrate it inside my web
application?  We're using AppFuse with WebWork + Spring + Hibernate.

Thanks,

P.S. I'm hoping to setup Roller on CruiseControl in the next couple of weeks.
