import com.sun.syndication.io.SyndFeedInput;
import com.sun.syndication.io.XmlReader;

public class Reader {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    URL url  = new URL("http://viralpatel.net/blogs/feed");
    XmlReader reader = null;

    try {
      reader = new XmlReader(url);
      SyndFeed feed = new SyndFeedInput().build(reader);
      System.out.println("Feed Title: "+ feed.getAuthor());

      for (Iterator i = feed.getEntries().iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
        SyndEntry entry = (SyndEntry) i.next();
        System.out.println(entry.getTitle());
      }
    } finally {
      if (reader != null)
        reader.close();
    }

Answer 1

Which version of JDOM did you use? It seems to me that ROME doesn't work with the newest version, 2.0.0, but requires the older version 1. Download the JDOM jar from here.

I would recommend to go through this web page , here you will find the working code to read and create RSS Feeds

He does not uses the Rome for fetching the RSS Feeds but uses the set of custom built classes that help in creating and fetching the RSS feeds from the Web server
