Subject: [tssg-tech] Re: Parsing BostonEventsList with ROME
Hi,
This is a good discussion on some of the issues we will face in constructing
EventBoss. However, we need to keep in mind some of the decisions we made in
designing the app.
First, the 'communication' between the RSS module and the UI/core module will
rely on central data object (that Mike is designing) that encapsulates a
BostonEventList event listing. This means the UI/core will never have to deal
with anything related to the RSS feed and give us the advantage that the
UI/core will be independent of the source of the event information. It also
means that it is the burden of the RSS module to extract the information from
the feed and make it available to the Adaptor object which will build the
BostonEventList object(s).
*************************************
I envision that the RSS module will extract all of the relevant data from each
entry in the RSS feed, and return a Collection of Event objects to the Adapter.
One datum in each entry will be the URL of the "details page". Like any other
datum, this URL can be persisted to the database, and it can be used to
populate
the UI with a hyperlink. Low coupling between application modules will be
maintained.
At a minimum, an Event object may have the following fields: Tltle of the
event, URL of the "details page", and the elements that are extracted from the
Description. I'm not certain that the PubDate is relevant.
*************************************
Second, is how to deal with the details of the event since Harry points out
that many individual data are wrapped up in the <description> element. I'm
skeptical that we can use this directly since it is not obvious how we can
render this nicely on the handset (This is a problem Rob is going to solve for
us) without access to the an individual datum. (This is a problem Rob is
going
to solve for us).
**************************************
Rather than use the Description directly, we can invoke the "details page"
using
the URL captured by the parser.
**************************************
Harry's right, it will be "dirty work extracting the particulars of an Event
from the <description>." but it may have to be done. (Actually, it may be
possible to take the content of the description element and parse it with the
SAX parser.).
Some of this might be made easier by using the Webview object that Julie
mentioned to render (in the code Rob is building) the actual description of
the
event (the description within the <description> that Harry mentioned).since
this is already formatted in HTML
****************************************
I don't know if we can parse the HTML tags in the same way that we would parse
XML tags.
****************************************
Hope these thoughts are helpful; comments, suggestions, dissention always
welcome.
Cheers,
Jim

Subject: [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

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