RSS Publisher 

RSS Publisher is the RSS-based channel of the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE). The RSS Publisher supports the RSS 2.0 format, which means all RSS feed reader software that supports RSS 2.0 can be used as a client for accessing the RSS feeds.

The RSS Publisher consists of the four main components:

·        Channel Handler: This represents the entry point to the RSS Publisher within the DOE and is attached to the RSS channel. The handler process incoming data object messages, populates the RSS feed, and generates the feed XML data.

·        HTTP Handler: This communicates with the RSS receivers for example. RSS clients use the HTTP protocol to regularly update feed content. The HTTP Request Handler handles incoming HTTP requests and delivers the feed XML data to the clients.

·        Web Dynpro Application: The Web Dynpro Application provides a web page that displays the contents of a data object instance in a web browser. Users can access the instance information in the context of an RSS item.

·        RSS Configuration tool: It provides means to manage feed configurations, template and server settings.
