RSS feeds are a new technology which plays a
major role in web content syndication world such as latest news syndication
and so on. Most of famous web sites provide their own feeds to give better
service for users. An RSS feed is simply an XML file format which has several
items (<item>). An item describes about the news briefly and provides
related other important details. I'm also interested in creating RSS feed
generator for the Axis 2.0 engine.

+1 , yup this a very cool feature and I think
none of web service engine has this kind of feature
>>>>>>>>>>>>
In addition to that I'm going to provide RSS
Aggregator which is capable of handling those feeds. Basically aggregator is a
web service which provides capabilities to the users to handle feeds as their
preference and it displays feeds in a nice way (HTML).
>>>>>>>>>
This is not so cleare to me , you mean you
can deploy aggregator as a web service in Axis ?
>>>>>>>>
My project has received a grant under Google
Summer of Code program. In my implementation I'm going to generate RSS feeds
by handling an event which is passed from Axis 2.0 engine. Users who have
subscribed for the feed generation part will be notified by implementing
WS-Eventing specification. Using this method subscribers are automatically
notified about newly added web services and about the changes had been done
for old web services.
In my aggregator I have decided to implement it
as distributed layered architecture. It is supposed not only to handle feeds
of Axis 2.0 but also other feeds such as mails, news. In addition my
aggregator provides filters to the user. In aggregation part layer it handles
feeds and can provide feeds as serialized java object or raw XML or SOAP
messages. In presentation component layer those should be handled according
their preference and present to the users. More details about my project will
be available soon on
http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/Tasks/RSSFeedGenerator (will be updated soon)

If you can update the wiki soon , that
will lead us to talk more abt your desging by reffering that
