Class FeedParser

java.lang.Object

au.edu.anu.portal.portlets.rss.FeedParser

public class FeedParser
extends Object

This class parses a feed via ROME

The output is totally dependent on ROME classes. There could be an abstraction layer but then it wouldn't be as 'simple' which is what this portlet aims to be.
