Hi i am trying to include RSS feed in my website. But the explanation given
in the apache forrest site is not clear. I am follwoing this..
This is a simple example. you may prefer to use the feeder plugin which
provides more flexible facilities for embedding RSS. See
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder/
Example: integrating external RSS content
Similar to the previous example, we can integrate RSS into our site simply
by providing a match in our project sitemap.xmap ...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<map:sitemap xmlns:map="http://apache.org/cocoon/sitemap/1.0";>
<map:pipelines>
<map:pipeline>
<map:match pattern="**weblog.xml">
<map:generate src="http://blogs.cocoondev.org/stevenn/index.rss"/>
<map:transform src="{forrest:stylesheets}/rss2document.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern=".......">
<!-- handle other project-specific matches -->
</map:match>
</map:pipeline>
</map:pipelines>
</map:sitemap>
You will probably want to copy the core Forrest rss2document.xsl to your
project, customise it to your needs, and refer to it with
src="{project:resources.stylesheets}/rss2document.xsl". Then of course you
would add an entry to site.xml to link to weblog.html
Here i not able to understand 2 things one is "<map:match
pattern="**weblog.xml">" where will i keep this weblog.xml" file and how
will i map this to "site.xml" as explained above(Then of course you would
add an entry to site.xml to link to weblog.html ) .
It sounds like you need to start at the basics. In order to work with
sitemaps you need to understand the sitemap language. Start here
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_90/sitemap-explain.html
If you are still having problems after reading that then ask again.
However, it is worth noting that if you use the feeder plugin (see
above) then you don't need to touch the sitemap.
