incorporating recent blog post in a different web application

[Guy Katz <gk...@allot.com>]

Hi;

I have a portal application (jsp/jsf) and I want to show a small 'recent
blog entries window' inside that portal (the roller web app runs on the
same server but is a standalone application)

What are my options for doing so? How can I get the recent blogs data
from an 'external API'? (I don't want to go directly to the DB from the
portal application.

Thanks in advance.

You can Roller's Atom (or RSS) feeds to get the information you want.

You can get the site-wide feed from http://localhost:8080/roller/atom
or an individual blog's feed from
http://localhost:8080/roller/<bloghandle>/atom.

Use ROME (http://rome.dev.java.net) to parse the feed(s) into a Java
object model and some JSP code to display the results.
