Topic awaiting preservation: RSS feeder that works with JSP

Hi!

I am looking to have some news feed into my JSP page. Do you know any RSS feeder that works with JSP?

I found this : www.sitepoint.com/print/rss-feeds-jsp-based-web-apps
It is cool. But I can't make it run I appreciate if you could help me or perhaps there are other easier to use RSS feeder.

Thank you.

Ini,

Thank you for your quick response. What I have done is to copy the package in a tomcat 4.1.30 instance. and create a rss.jsp page which is shown below. What I get was an empty page. Hence I am really not sure what I could have done wrong. Could it be the url?

I appreciate your input and thank you for your help.

<%@ page import="rss.*" %>

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>



Yahoo Top stories: <br>



<% 

 RssReader reader = new RssReader(); 

 RssFeed rssFeed = reader.read("http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories"); 

 

 Iterator it = rssFeed.getItems().iterator(); 

 

 while (it.hasNext()) { 

   RssItem rssItem = (RssItem)it.next(); 

%> 

   <a href="<%= rssItem.getLink() %>"><%= rssItem.getTitle() %></a> 

   <br /> 

<% 

 } 

%>

I just did a quick scan but this page requires pretty much all the classes included to be declared.

Ini,

Thank you for spending time to help me out. I have the same problem. After checking with our security administrator, the firewall is blocking the xml input as the rss is trying to connect directly to the source without going through our proxy server.

I grab a sample rss xml from enter source and create a local web server, the rss feed then works ok.

As I am not too experience with rss, do you know if there is a way to put a proxy configuration into this rss package?

Thanks again.
