RE: WDDX OR XML News Feeds
That should work fine, but I would make sure to cache the contents and not request it for each pageview... Are you having problems? You could cache it easily using: cfwddx output="mynews" cfset Application.myNews = myNews cfset Application.myNewsExpires = CreateTimeSpan(blah) Check the timespan to determine whether or not to cache it again.. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 2:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: WDDX OR XML News Feeds Hi, I am new to WDDX and I am wondering if this would be the correct way to handle a WDDX news feed from MoreOver.

Re: WDDX OR XML News Feeds
OK, quite a few folks have asked for the code I use so I'll just post it now. First, I had help from this list with this, but I'm sorry that I forgot who to credit with helping me. You know who you are: Here's what I do. You can use Moreover.com for news headline feeds on MANY subjects. This one is for Firearms Related news. Now, they do offer a javascript to go out and grab the headline when the page is loaded. Problem is, if there is net congestion, or their server is down, it can really slow down your page load (it does even when there isn't much net congestion) or worse off - prevent your page from loading. So what I wanted to do is download the headlines and associated links into a local database so the page would load fast. I run this code (called headliner.cfm) hourly via the CF Scheduler (yea, yea, I know - it doesn't work for some, but I've found that it's pretty reliable for http calls - both on my own servers and on shared servers at ISP's - Hostpro.com in this case). The advantages are; Again, faster page loading of headlines from local source and if there is net congestion that would prevent updating when the hourly script runs, you still have the previous hours info so your page still loads.

I know that some folks have some trouble with the CFScheduler but on my development box, a production box and a shared server at an ISP, it seem to be stable for HTTP calls.
