Client library for interacting with blog servers
The BlogClient package defines generic interface that can be used to create, retrieve, update and delete blog entries and blog resources from a blog server that supports either the MetaWeblog API or the Atom protocol.
The diagram below shows the interfaces in the blog client package.
Now let's take a look at an example that shows how to post a blog entry via Atom protocol and the Blog Client library.
import com.sun.syndication.propono.blogclient.*; // class and method declaration omitted String endpointURL = // URL of your blog server String username = // your username on the blog server String password = // your password String title = // title of the new blog entry String content = // content of the new blog entry BlogConnection con = #1 BlogConnectionFactory.getBlogConnection( "atom", endpointURL, username, password); Blog blog = (Blog)con.getBlogs().get(0); #2 BlogEntry entry = blog.newEntry(); #3 entry.setTitle(title); #4 entry.setContent(new BlogEntry.Content(content)); #5 entry.save(); #6
Let's review that code. First we get a connection from the factory by specifying Atom protocol, our blog server's endpoint URL and login credentials (#1). From the connection, we get the first blog that's available (#2). Next we create a new entry in the blog's primary collection (#3), set its title (#4), set it's content (#5) and post it to the blog server by calling its save() method (#5).
