public abstract class AbstractFeedView<T extends com.sun.syndication.feed.WireFeed>
extends AbstractView

Abstract base class for Atom and RSS Feed views, using java.net's ROME package.

Application-specific view classes will typically extend from either AbstractRssFeedView or AbstractAtomFeedView instead of from this class.

Thanks to Jettro Coenradie and Sergio Bossa for the original feed view prototype!

renderMergedOutputModel

protected final void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model,
                                             HttpServletRequest request,
                                             HttpServletResponse response)
                                      throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractView

Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

Specified by:

renderMergedOutputModel in class AbstractView

Parameters:

model - combined output Map (never null), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

Throws:

Exception - if rendering failed

newFeed

protected abstract T newFeed()

Create a new feed to hold the entries.

Returns:

the newly created Feed instance

buildFeedMetadata

protected void buildFeedMetadata(Map<String,Object> model,
                                 T feed,
                                 HttpServletRequest request)

Populate the feed metadata (title, link, description, etc.).

Default is an empty implementation. Subclasses can override this method to add meta fields such as title, link description, etc.

Parameters:

model - the model, in case meta information must be populated from it

feed - the feed being populated

request - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.

buildFeedEntries

protected abstract void buildFeedEntries(Map<String,Object> model,
                                         T feed,
                                         HttpServletRequest request,
                                         HttpServletResponse response)
                                  throws Exception

Subclasses must implement this method to build feed entries, given the model.

Note that the passed-in HTTP response is just supposed to be used for setting cookies or other HTTP headers. The built feed itself will automatically get written to the response after this method returns.

Parameters:

model - the model Map

feed - the feed to add entries to

request - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.

response - in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.

Throws:

Exception - any exception that occured during building
