Thanks dave, Just what I needed. Now I see I can configure a ping location poiting a a servlet I will write in my portal application so that it knows when it should re-parse the rss feed from roller. Can you please point me to some docs regarding the actual ping protocol (is it a simple HTTP request, what request parameters I should expect etc...) Thanks a lot.
