Hi rgardler thanks for the reply. I followed the link provided by u and did
the same but not able to render the RSS feeds. I did like this
My feedDescriptor is like this and i put it in a folder like ->
xdocs\ConnectM\Technology\feedDescriptor.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feedDescriptor>
<feed id="BBCSport_UK">
<url>http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml#</url>
</feed>
</feedDescriptor>
and i have made an entry in site.xml like this
<technology label="Technology" href="ConnectM/Technology/" tab="Technology">
<overview label="Overview" href="technology.html" />
<m2m label="M2M" href="m2m.html" />
<java label="Java" href="java.html" />
<java label="RSS Link" href="Rss.html" />
</technology>
where Rss.xml is the feed xml file. Whenever i click on "RSS Link" nothing
is getting displayed.
Please help......
Doing what the instructions say will help, see
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.feeder/samples/singleFeed.html
Your feed descriptor is OK, but your URL to request it is incorrect (as
described in the above document):
--- start quote ---
<a href="PATH_TO_FEED_DESCRIPTOR/FEED_DESCRIPTOR_NAME.rss.EXTENSION>
In this URL you must replace PATH_TO_FEED_DESCRIPTOR with the directory
path to your feed descriptor file, FEED_DESCRIPTOR_NAME with the name of
the descriptor file, and EXTENSION with the extension indicating the
format you want the feed to be delivered in (i.e. html, pdf etc.)
--- end quote ---
so you need:
<a href="ConnectM/Technology/feedDescriptor.rss.html">
This means your site.xml should be:
<technology label="Technology" href="ConnectM/Technology/" tab="Technology">
<overview label="Overview" href="technology.html" />
<m2m label="M2M" href="m2m.html" />
<java label="Java" href="java.html" />
<java label="RSS Link" href="feedDescriptor.rss.html" />
</technology>
To test this just do 'forrest run' and try:
http://localhsot:8888/ConnectM/Technology/feedDescriptor.rss.html
You don't mention it, so I will... you need to ensure you enable the
plugin or it will never work, see
