Create RSS feeds from KM News

Hi all,

is it possible to create RSS feeds from the standard News items created with Form Based Publishing (XML Forms builders)? In other words, instead if just displaying those news items in the portal, can they be displayed in an RSS reader as well?

Since it's all XML I would say it is possible, right?

please advice

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

jRSS - Simple Java RSS Feed Generator

A simple java API to produce Really Simple Syndication (RSS) documents following the specification version 2.0

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jrss/

http://cephas.net/blog/2003/09/07/creating-rss-using-java/

So generate the RSS in the KM folder where your XMLForm datas are saved.

After that create a component that accesses this RSS and shows it. You can use RSS Viewer librarys to achieve this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rssview/

So steps are:

1. Create RSS and save as resource in KM.

<b>Create a Repository Service, which creates this RSS and also updates it when contents in the folder changes.</b>

2. Read this resource using a component and create IView from this component.

I am sure that there are lots of other approches to implement this solution.
