Atom4J serves as a library to assist in reading and generating Atom API specified XML. Atom4J includes an abstract Servlet for assisting in the implementation of a Servlet which supports the Atom API. Such a servlet will soon be included in Roller (http://www.rollerweblogger.org) if you would like to see an example.
Atom4J does in no way include any security restrictions, beyond an abstract authorized() method. The Atom API currently suggests using Digest authentication. Again, this is not included in Atom4J.
Future development may include the reading and writing of Atom feeds as outlined in the Atom 0.2 Snapshot.
To compile and use the library, you will need the following:
commons-digester.jar and its associated jars:
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-lang.jar
servlet-2.3.jar
To compile and run the tests, you will need to add junit-3.8.1.jar or later.
This version of Atom4J (v0.1) supports the AtomAPI as of 09/01/2003, currently at version 0.7.
