Question

Where can i find a simple tutorial on how to generate <content:encoded /> tags in an rss using rome?

I’ve been reading throug their documentation but it is only about read and parse from a feed. And their javadoc is minimal…

Thank you!

Udo.

Answer 1

This tutorial includes a part for creating an entry with data that has a content type of text/html:

entry = new SyndEntryImpl();
entry.setTitle("ROME v3.0");
entry.setLink("http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/Rome03");
entry.setPublishedDate(DATE_PARSER.parse("2004-07-27"));
description = new SyndContentImpl();
description.setType("text/html");
description.setValue("<p>More Bug fixes, mor API changes, some new features and some Unit testing</p>"+
                     "<p>For details check the <a href=\"http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javawsxml/RomeChangesLog#RomeV03\">Changes Log</a></p>");
entry.setDescription(description);
entries.add(entry);

I think that should be transformed into a content:encoded element in the generated feed, perhaps depending on the feed type.

EDIT: this was my first answer, but it has nothing to do with ROME:

Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but the RSS Best Practices Profile describes what should be in the element:

The content:encoded element defines
the full content of an item
(optional). This element has a more
precise purpose than the description
element, which can be the full
content, a summary or some other form
of excerpt at the publisher’s
discretion.

The content must be suitable for
presentation as HTML and be encoded as
character data in the same manner as
the description element.
