Sorry ’bout that. the solution was to load jdom lib, nothing wrong with example.
Jnew: that should solve your problem aswell

Rome 1.0 doesn’t have a build method who takes a XmlReader. this tutorial needs to be updated.

you may want to look at vtd-xml, the latest and most advanced xml processing api vtd-xml

Hi Bradford, I suggest you to validate the xml before you parsing it using ROME. Check the source RSS and see if it does not contain any error. There are online tools to validate RSS. Search on Google and you will get lot of such online utilities.

Invalid XML: Error on line 10: The element type “META” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.
[Thrown class com.sun.syndication.io.ParsingFeedException]

Hi Dinesh,
You can set User-Agent of your http request to any of the bot’s user-agent so that Google treat it as a bot. To change the user agent of request use XmlReader(java.net.URLConnection conn) constructor of XmlReader class. Pass the conn object which has the user agent set to proper value.
conn.setRequestProperty(”User-Agent”,”whateveryouwant”);

Hope this works

Hay, i have an error reading the RSS feeds which are generated from google groups. I guess google is blocking requests from other applications than the browsers. Can you please help me on this
