Class WireFeedOutput

public class WireFeedOutput extends Object

Generates an XML document (String, File, OutputStream, Writer, W3C DOM document or JDOM document) out of an WireFeed (RSS/Atom).

It generates all flavors of RSS (0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0 and 2.0) and Atom 0.3 feeds. Generators are plugable (they must implement the ModuleParser interface).

Constructor Detail

WireFeedOutput

public WireFeedOutput()
Creates a FeedOuput instance.

Method Detail

getSupportedFeedTypes

public static List getSupportedFeedTypes()
Returns the list of supported output feed types.

Returns: a list of String elements with the supported output feed types.

See Also: for details on the format of these strings.

output

public void output(WireFeed feed, File file)
Creates a File containing with the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

If the feed encoding is not NULL, it will be used in the XML prolog encoding attribute. The platform default charset encoding is used to write the feed to the file. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure the feed encoding is set to the platform charset encoding.

NOTE: This method delages to the 'Document WireFeedOutput#outputJDom(WireFeed)'.

Parameters: feed Abstract feed to create XML representation from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor. file the file where to write the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match. IOException thrown if there was some problem writing to the File. FeedException thrown if the XML representation for the feed could not be created.

output

public void output(WireFeed feed, Writer writer)
Writes to an Writer the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

If the feed encoding is not NULL, it will be used in the XML prolog encoding attribute. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure the Writer instance is using the same charset encoding.

NOTE: This method delages to the 'Document WireFeedOutput#outputJDom(WireFeed)'.

Parameters: feed Abstract feed to create XML representation from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor. writer Writer to write the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match. IOException thrown if there was some problem writing to the Writer. FeedException thrown if the XML representation for the feed could not be created.

outputJDom

public Document outputJDom(WireFeed feed)
Creates a JDOM document for the given WireFeed.

This method does not use the feed encoding property.

NOTE: All other output methods delegate to this method.

Parameters: feed Abstract feed to create JDOM document from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor.

Returns: the JDOM document for the given WireFeed.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match. FeedException thrown if the JDOM document for the feed could not be created.

outputString

public String outputString(WireFeed feed)
Creates a String with the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

If the feed encoding is not NULL, it will be used in the XML prolog encoding attribute. It is the responsibility of the developer to ensure that if the String is written to a character stream the stream charset is the same as the feed encoding property.

NOTE: This method delages to the 'Document WireFeedOutput#outputJDom(WireFeed)'.

Parameters: feed Abstract feed to create XML representation from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor.

Returns: a String with the XML representation for the given WireFeed.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match. FeedException thrown if the XML representation for the feed could not be created.

outputW3CDom

public Document outputW3CDom(WireFeed feed)
Creates a W3C DOM document for the given WireFeed.

This method does not use the feed encoding property.

NOTE: This method delages to the 'Document WireFeedOutput#outputJDom(WireFeed)'.

Parameters: feed Abstract feed to create W3C DOM document from. The type of the WireFeed must match the type given to the FeedOuptut constructor.

Returns: the W3C DOM document for the given WireFeed.

Throws: IllegalArgumentException thrown if the feed type of the WireFeedOutput and WireFeed don't match. FeedException thrown if the W3C DOM document for the feed could not be created.
