Can I assume that the URL:
http://localhost:8080/roller/{BLOG_NAME}/feed/entries/rss
will be the RSS FEED provider in Apache Roller ??
Yes, that is the feed for entries. There is a separate feed for comments.
Where you've written {BLOG_NAME}, it's actually the blog's "handle" you
chose when creating the blog, and the base part of the URL
http://localhost:8080/roller is determined by the absolute URL to your
site configured in the Server Admin -> Site Settings or otherwise
deduced on first access.

Thanks for the reply Anil.
I need some more information; Once I create a blog in apache roller, I found
the following code in view page source:
* <link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="
http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/rsd"/>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Recent Entries
(Atom)" href="http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/feed/entries/atom"; />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Recent Entries
(RSS)" href="http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/feed/entries/rss"; />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Recent Comments
(Atom)" href="http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/feed/comments/atom"; />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Recent Comments
(RSS)" href="http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/feed/comments/rss"; />*
In the RSS Reader client, i have added the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/roller/raj123/feed/entries/rss
I am able to see the blogs that are created under "raj123".
Can I assume that the URL:
http://localhost:8080/roller/{BLOG_NAME}/feed/entries/rss
will be the RSS FEED provider in Apache Roller ??
Where can I find the rss feeds xml/atoms that are being stored ?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj.

That question quickly gets out of the scope of this forum, which is about
only the Roller side of this.
Depending on how simple your output format, you may be able to get by with
just applying a stylesheet to the xml output. Google "applying a stylesheet
to rss xml" will give you some examples.
To get richer, you can pull the content from the feed URLs offered by
Roller, parse it and then display it in the way you want. Some references
you might want to check out:
http://java-source.net/open-source/rss-rdf-tools has a number of tools you
might find useful. Roller uses ROME internally.
http://blogapps.dev.java.net/ has some useful if perhaps dated examples
http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/feedparser/ is a sandbox sub-project of
Apache Jakarta Commons that you might want to look at. I am not very
familiar with it myself.
I don't know what facilities Magnolia might provide for doing this sort of
thing.

Dear Dave,
What you are saying is correct. Please see my comments inline with blue
color highlighted.
Setup Roller and create some blogs
[YES, Exactly]
Write a web application that reads Roller feeds, parses them and displays
them
[The web application is developed using Magnolia CMS system using the JSP
templates]
Thanks & Regards,

I am newbie to Roller. I have managed to setup and create a user and
blog.
I want to use the roller's FEEDS to display in another site which i am
going
to develop.
For example:
Site A - The new site that i am developing.
Site B - The Apache Roller, where I am posting the blog content.
Now i wanted to display the content that is being posted in Site B into
Site
A, hopeful I may have to use RSS Feeds.
Can any one guide me how to proceed on this ??
Any helpful links/guides are appreciated.
Can you be please be more specific in your question. I'm not sure what
you are asking.
Sounds like your steps are:
- setup Roller and create some blogs
- write a web application that reads Roller feeds, parses them and
displays
them
What part of that do you have a question about?
