Thanks!

The component looks great!

Do you know any component for generating the RSS Feed instead of consuming/reading the RSS Feed ?

Thanks, Yara

I tried it with JSF 1.2 and Netbeans 6 and I got an error for attributes channelVar and itemVar "Unable to find setter method for attribute: channeVar".

But when I follow the sample code at http://bingyu1108.googlepages.com/rss4jsf without setting channelVar and itemVar, it doesn't show anything from the consumed RSS feed.

Any idea of what might be wrong ?

Thanks, Yara

I just checked out its tld, in tld attribute used channeVar, so we need to use channeVar except channelVar, BUT in Java code, I believe coder using channelVar for setter/getter. Thats why I got error that getter setter not found for channelVar. So.....

hi.. how do you solve the error? regarding the attribute channelVar..

Nice component.

I have made a small modification on my local sources. I have add a method in RssItem?.java to format the body. I explain...

Some rss feed comes with HTML tag inside. Sometimes it's not desired. The added method simply remove all HTML tags found. If you need these 3 lines of code :)

Another question, but about Rsslib4JSF. I have a problem if i use your tag on a server who's behind a reverse proxy. I have an RSSException from SimpleRssOutput?.java, line 36, because of a connection refused. It seems to come from the "setXmlResource" method, called from the "parseXmlFile" of the RSSParser class. If you have any idea.

In all case, thanks for your work.
