Hello guys, just for fun I’ve created a GWT + Google AppEngine aggregator application that looks like this:
It is based on http://www.planetplanet.org/ but just for the idea. The assets are from http://planet.gnome.org/ and the aggregator looks like planet gnome in most cases. It have less features of course. I hope Redhat don’t have objections for the assets but I cant find the “assets” license.
The development of the GWT + AppEngine aggregator and the deployment of the application take 2hours, and the application is smaller than 300 lines of code(including view, entry point and service implementation). So I can say that the Google AppEngine is awesome place and way for hosting and developing applications.
The application is deployed at : http://developer-bg.appspot.com/ so you can check it and leave replay. I still have a lot of problems like the html comments in the Radoslav Kirilov posts which exists in the RSS.
For RSS/ATOM parsing I use feed4j project but it has a lot of problems like: not parsing pubDate element in RSS 2.0 and updated in Atom 1.0 but it’s easy to be add/fix it yourself.
I use the planet gnome HTML view so for adding posts I’ve used VerticalPanel and added HTML elements to it. I didn’t find better way to do this so if you know other way tell me.
Example :
VerticalPanel vPanel = new VerticalPanel();
for (FeedItem item : result) {
vPanel.add(new HTML(“<DIV class=”entry”>rn” +
… +
” </DIV>rn” +
“</DIV>”));
}
DOM.setInnerHTML(RootPanel.get(“loading”).getElement(), “”);
RootPanel.get(“entries”).add(vPanel);
The “loading” div was used for displaying “Loading please wait” while I’ve load the feeds. The loading idea was taken from http://developerlife.com/theblog/?p=156. The feeds are updated on every 30mins not on every call.
