    Hey guys,

    I am about to implement RSS feeds on my site (publish RSS data for others to syndicate) and I am afraid I need some help getting started :)

    Besides exposing some data file in rss format, I'd like to do what jobs.perl.org does: control the number of latest postings to display by specifying limit param (see http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss?limit=25 ).

    Note: my server-side language of choice is Java. Any idea on how to get started given my requirements?

    Best,
    James

    It just hit me that /standard.rss?limit=25 is a mod_rewrite to the script that does the retrieval and write the output in RSS format!

    you can do that easily if your rss file is generated with php or a perl script. If you are using a static file, your best option is to create multiple files and use a mod-rewrite alias or simply have multiple files available for your end users.

    We'd be interested to know which tag library you used (if any). We have also incorporated RSS into our JSP based site.
