Re: [Wicket-user] Any Free RSS Panel from Wicket Users

[Ayodeji Aladejebi]

yeah am even wiring one using a free RSS library..the dojo example is kind of complicated...no need of new JS library to make a RSS panel...

Combining any tiny free RSS library like http:// rsslib4j.sourceforge.net/  will get it done and infact the AJAX update is so much fun with AjaxSelfUpdatingBehavior

using rsslib4j.sourceforge.net here is a sample code:

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSChannel ;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSException;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSHandler;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSImage;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSItem;
import org.gnu.stealthp.rsslib.RSSParser ;

...

 RSSHandler handler = new RSSHandler();
        try {
            RSSParser.parseXmlFile("index.rdf",handler,false);
        } catch (RSSException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
      RSSChannel channel = handler.getRSSChannel();
      LinkedList list = channel.getItems();
       
      RSSImage image = channel.getRSSImage();
     
      for(Object ji : list){
      RSSItem item = (RSSItem)ji;
      System.out.println(item.getTitle());
      System.out.println(item.getLink());
      System.out.println(item.getDescription());
    }

/**
use list for model
Create links from getTitle() and getLink()//Ajaxify getDescription
Use AjaxSelfUpdatingBehavior to re-parse and update the List Model
**/

I'm also interested in a wicket RSS panel, but i'm finding it hard to understand the dojo example.

personally, i think it would be easier to use a library like rome (https://rome.dev.java.net/) and just add each rss element to a wicket list view.  it's really not that difficult to parse an existing rss feed.

Anyone else have some ideas?

Check out the wicket-contrib-dojo-examples

The students have built a dojo auto update RSS reader.

Okay I am lazy again parsing RSS....Please does anyone have a free RSS panel to share :)

Something i can simply input an RSS Link and then it will render out the Links?

Thanks :)
