@Selva

The short answer is that we don’t have a pre-built Java portal integration. If the portal software that they are using has a portlet that you can embed an IFRAME into, then we have really easy ways to integrate our readers. We also have customers who have used our APIs to integrate into Java portals.

As for the category question. It’s not clear what you mean by “dynamically,” but I’ll venture a guess. I think you are asking about functionality similar to our tag-based smart feeds, where users can create persistent keyword searches based only on publisher categories and user-entered tags. We also have an API here for you to interact with NGES.

This question might not be relevant to the topic posted, but wanted to get clarification.

Does Newsgator have any support for Java/J2EE Portlet? Also does it have any in-built J2EE Portlets?

One more question, Can we dynamically create “Category”? like allowing the user to enter a category and then retrieving feeds from various sites based on that?

@Scott - that’s a good idea. I’ll look through my own APML file and see if there’s anything I’d rather not share :-), and perhaps expose that for people to look at.

Hey Greg,

That’s awesome news. One thing I’d suggest is that since there’s a real dearth of APML data in the wild, releasing some samples would be really great. Not everyone uses NG Online yet so getting data to play with isn’t all that easy.

@Marshall - nothing specific…although it’s certainly something we’ve been thinking about. We do accept import of some attention-like data today, through arrangements like what we do with AideRSS…but nothing that’s individual-user-specific at the moment.

Any info available on when you’ll be accepting APML import?

This is fantastic news Greg!

I am adding it to the APML and DataPortability feeds as well.

Congratulations on this great work.

[...] Back when we announced that NewsGator’s RSS clients are now free, I also mentioned that we’d be supporting APML across the entire platform. Some of our client applications implement exporting APML at the moment…but we’ve now implemented a persistent APML endpoint in our online platform. What this means is, if you’re using sync with NewsGator Online, there is a well-known URL that represents your APML attention data.[From NewsGator and APML - Greg Reinacker’s Weblog - Musings on just about everything.] [...]
