Question

I want to use Project Rome to create an RSS feed, using the code from the tutorial as base. I would like to add a pubsubhubbub discovery link, but there doesn’t seem to be a general way to do so.

I can use a Link object if I create an atom feed (which I don’t want to limit myself to), or I can just add foreign markup, like this:

// import org.jdom.Element

Element element = new Element("link");
element.setAttribute("rel", "hub");
element.setAttribute("href", "https://myhub.example.com/endpoint");

feed.setForeignMarkup(Arrays.asList(element));

But it feels ugly.

Is this really the best way to do this?

Project rome has moved to http://rometools.org.
It has a incubator project certiorem for pubsubhubbub that looks promising as it is already mavenized:
