    public abstract class AbstractAtomFeedView

extends AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>

Abstract superclass for Atom Feed views, using java.net's ROME package.

Application-specific view classes will extend this class. The view will be held in the subclass itself, not in a template.

Main entry points are the `AbstractFeedView.buildFeedMetadata(Map, WireFeed, HttpServletRequest)` and `buildFeedEntries(Map, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)`.

Thanks to Jettro Coenradie and Sergio Bossa for the original feed view prototype!

  Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### AbstractAtomFeedView

    public AbstractAtomFeedView()

Method Detail

### setFeedType

    public void setFeedType(String feedType)

  Sets the Rome feed type to use.

  Defaults to Atom 1.0.

  See Also:
    `WireFeed.setFeedType(String)`, `DEFAULT_FEED_TYPE`

### newFeed

    protected com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed newFeed()

  Create a new Feed instance to hold the entries.

  By default returns an Atom 1.0 feed, but the subclass can specify any Feed.

  Specified by:
    `newFeed` in class `AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>`
  Returns:
    the newly created Feed instance
  See Also:
    `setFeedType(String)`

### buildFeedEntries

    protected final void buildFeedEntries(Map<String,Object> model,
                                          com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed feed,
                                          HttpServletRequest request,
                                          HttpServletResponse response)
                                   throws Exception

  Invokes `buildFeedEntries(Map, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)` to get a list of feed entries.

  Specified by:
    `buildFeedEntries` in class `AbstractFeedView<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Feed>`
  Parameters:
    `model` - the model Map
    `feed` - the feed to add entries to
    `request` - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.
    `response` - in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.
  Throws:
    `Exception` - any exception that occured during building

### buildFeedEntries

    protected abstract List<com.sun.syndication.feed.atom.Entry> buildFeedEntries(Map<String,Object> model,
                                                                                  HttpServletRequest request,
                                                                                  HttpServletResponse response)
                                                                           throws Exception

  Subclasses must implement this method to build feed entries, given the model.

  Note that the passed-in HTTP response is just supposed to be used for setting cookies or other HTTP headers. The built feed itself will automatically get written to the response after this method returns.

  Parameters:
    `model` - the model Map
    `request` - in case we need locale etc. Shouldn't look at attributes.
    `response` - in case we need to set cookies. Shouldn't write to it.
  Returns:
    the feed entries to be added to the feed
  Throws:
    `Exception` - any exception that occured during document building

    `Entry`
