public abstract class AbstractAtomFeedView
extends AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>

Abstract superclass for Atom Feed views, using java.net's ROME package.

Application-specific view classes will extend this class. The view will be held in the subclass itself, not in a template.

Main entry points are the AbstractFeedView.buildFeedMetadata(Map, WireFeed, HttpServletRequest) and buildFeedEntries(Map, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse).

Thanks to Jettro Coenradie and Sergio Bossa for the original feed view prototype!

3.0

AbstractAtomFeedView

public AbstractAtomFeedView()
Method Detail

setFeedType

public void setFeedType(String feedType)
Sets the Rome feed type to use.

Defaults to Atom 1.0.

See Also:
WireFeed.setFeedType(String), DEFAULT_FEED_TYPE

newFeed

protected com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed newFeed()
Create a new Feed instance to hold the entries.

By default returns an Atom 1.0 feed, but the subclass can specify any Feed.

Specified by:
newFeed in class AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>
Returns:
the newly created Feed instance
See Also:
setFeedType(String)

buildFeedEntries

protected final void buildFeedEntries(Map<String,Object> model,
                                      com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed feed,
                                      HttpServletRequest request,
                                      HttpServletResponse response)
                               throws Exception
Invokes buildFeedEntries(Map, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) to get a list of feed entries.

Specified by:
buildFeedEntries in class AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>
Parameters:
model - the model Map
feed - the feed to add entries to
request - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.
response - in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.
Throws:
Exception - any exception that occured during building

buildFeedEntries

protected abstract List<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Entry> buildFeedEntries(Map<String,Object> model,
                                                                              HttpServletRequest request,
                                                                              HttpServletResponse response)
                                                                       throws Exception
Subclasses must implement this method to build feed entries, given the model.

Note that the passed-in HTTP response is just supposed to be used for setting cookies or other HTTP headers. The built feed itself will automatically get written to the response after this method returns.

Parameters:
model - the model Map
request - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.
response - in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.
Returns:
the feed entries to be added to the feed
Throws:
Exception - any exception that occured during document building
