ROME

no, not the HBO original series..
i found this... holidays... must work... damn halaman missile...

ROME is a set of Atom/RSS Java utilities that make it easy to work in Java with most syndication formats.
Today it accepts all flavors of RSS (0.90, 0.91 Netscape, 0.91 Userland, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0 and 2.0) and Atom 0.3 feeds.
ROME includes a set of parsers and generators for the various flavors of syndication feeds, as well as converters to convert from one format to another. The parsers can give you back Java objects that are either specific for the format you want to work with, or a generic normalized SyndFeed class that lets you work on with the data without bothering about the incoming or outgoing feed type.

Dear Blog 3

DOH!

Just a few minutes after posting Dear Blog 2, i found the solution for the linebreak-in-a-dataTable problem.

I'll try to replicate the problem ardee encountered, which i call the start-your-webapp-name-with-the-word-faces-problem. The f*ces problem for short. I think i've seen that before (last sembreak)

Dear Blog 2

JSF, as usual

Developing using JSF can be fun (*cough) and most of the time, extremely irritating. Although i feel more comfortable using JSF than Struts. (dormraiders rulez!)

Ive encountered numerous JSF related problems and somewhat managed to find solutions. Most of the time a solution will give rise to other (worse) problems. Eventually, you'll end up fixing all these problems with the most elegant (quiwa) solution.

Should you encounter some JSF related problems, contact me if you need help. Chances are i've already seen them and hopefully, i've already found the solution. If i dont, well, at least we can share the burden. I'd be happy to research for the solution (that's what i've been doing ever since). And of course, if you have a problem, it's everybody else's problem. We should be working together to finish (*cough) UVLe.

I'll try to update the JSF wiki. I just have some more problems to attend to. (like how to display a linebreak. The html pre tag does not work inside the dataTable component, but it works fine outside that UIComponent. darn)
