The Rome project gives Java developers an easy way to consume any flavor of RSS or Atom feed and get a canonical SyndFeed object which carries all the feed content.

I joined the Rome developer team with an eye toward encouraging a subproject called Aqueduct - “Piping Feeds for Rome”. Essentially, the project is intended to spearhead efforts of persisting SyndFeed instances through ORM or whatever makes sense.

I decided to do an implementation of the Aqueduct DAO API using Prevayler, just to see how easy it would be. It was amazingly easy. So, I bundled up and checked in a distribution to let the Rome users community play around with it.

If you’re interested, check out the Rome|Aqueduct Prevayler Implementation page.

On that page you’ll find more information about the distribution, whether it makes sense for you to use it in your application, and instructions on running the sample programs.

The distribution is self-contained, so you only need to unzip the archive and you’ll be ready to run the sample programs via batch files. Have fun!
