The application generate xml from a datasource and transforms that xml using xsl into another xml document.



That document can be serialized as a File to the filesystem or directly as a HTTPResponse to the client application i.e. a webbrowser or a rss reader.



If the document is serialized to the file system, that file can be served by a http server to the client application.





The application uses scheduled updates for File serialization and a servlet for realtime updates with HTTPResponses. This makes the implementation very performance effective.





The datasource does not need to be modified. That means that you dont'n need to customize your databases to use them as datasource when producing rss feeds.

• from domBulletin forums
  
• statrep.nsf
  
• publishing a html page with links to all generated feeds
  
• republish a rss feed
  
• examples using the servlet.
  
  
  
  
  
  Actions, icons and agents in the DominoRSS configuration database has been updated and enhanced. This includes defining different activationTypes for a feed and view icons to display this.
  
  
  
  There is also a a new DominoDatabaseViewCategory generator class - that defines a feed from a view category in a domino database.

  Fixed memoryleaks in DominoDatabase generator
  
  
  
  
  
  ===========================
  
  Release 0.3 added
  
  ———————————————–
  
• Servlet implementation
  
• serializer for HTTPRequest
  
  
  
  I got rid of the problem of scheduling more than every 5 minutes by implementing the servlet.
  
  This means that there will be no standalone application or server addin task.
  
  
  
  
  
  ===========================
  
  Planned releases
  
  ———————————————–
  
• Add cache to servlet implementation with timeout values from 0 - 300 seconds (5 minutes)
  
  Then there will be four update implementations that covers every case from realtime to scheduling every month, and manual updates
  
• The servlet engine with cache timeout = 0 seconds (realtime)
  
  2 .The servlet engine with cache timeout = 1 - 300 seconds (cached up to 5 minutes)
  
• The agent manager from every 5 minutes and beyond. (cached up to 1 month)
  
• Manual update of feeds from the RSS Producer database.
  
  
  
• Generator class for datasource as MS Word documents.
  
• Serializer class for podcast feeds.

  ===========================
  
  Release 0.1 Contains
  
  ———————————————–
  
  A template that can produce feeds from:
  
• Documents in a DominoDatabase view
