Atom feed readers

[MaheshRM]

Hi,

I have a requirement to poll/read atom feeds every 5 minutes, parse it and perform some operations. I was evaluating apache abdera and ROME. During evaluation i stumbled upon Spring Integration which has polling options.

Now i am really confused which one to use.
1. Only Apache abdera and for polling schedule it using Quartz jobs.
2. Only ROME and for polling schedule it using Quartz jobs. I am not sure if ROME has any inbuilt polling mechanism.
3. Spring Integration and abdera combination.
4. Spring Integration and ROME combination.
5. Only Spring Integration. Not sure whether only SI will work.

Could you please suggest me of all the 5 options which is best.

Thanks
Mahesh

Spring Integration uses the ROME library under the covers. Also, Spring supports simple cron-based scheduling itself.

So your option #5 would work.

You can find an example here:

Hope that helps.

Hi Mark,

Wish you happy and prosperous new year 2013.

Thanks for your reply.

I will start with your pointer.

I am looking for inbuilt caching mechanism also. Does Spring Integration use rome fetcher library as well?

Thanks
