A Java API for Atom?
With a view to adding Atom support to Informa, I started looking into the specification in more detail. Just before I started looking at adding support for the syndication format, and found out that Niko (Informa’s product manager) was already looking at it. Instead, I decided to look at the posting and editing API. A WSDL file was available, but Axis wasn’t too successful at converting it into a Java API. To get wsdl2java to actually process the file, I had to remove the DELETE operation. I then hit the limitations of my knowledge as far as we services are concerned, so this has been put on the back burner while I read over some tutorials. I’ll keep you informed as to Niko’s progress on adding Atom syndication support to Informa

I have been looking at using Atom4J” on my project. While IM not a fan of the way it is put together, really, it works. And yes, the Atom spec is all screwed up. They aren’t really designing it as a compliant SOAP service, and the WSDL is a reverse-designed thing that doesn’t compile with many tools.
Thanks for the link cooper – I’ll look into it when I get some spare time…
