[tssg-tech] Re: Parsing BostonEventsList with ROME

Hello,

My ROME / JDOM application was used to grab the individual URLs of all the 
entries in an RSS feed.  Then, the URLs were given to the application user as a 
List (as Titles / hyperlinks) along with the entire Description.  If the 
application user was interested in a particular Title s/he could click-on the 
hyperlink, which activated a browser, and presented the application user with 
"the details".  We wouldn't be able to give the application user the entire 
Description, but it appears that there is a <description> tag embedded in the 
Description.  We could give the app user this abbreviated description.  This 
model seems more realistic to me than our current use-model.  It will be dirty 
work extracting the particulars of an Event from the <description>.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this subject?

Best regards,
Harry Henriques
Java Developer

Harry, this is GREAT!! The UI/Core team can use it to determine what we have to 
work with for the display.

Thanks!
