Dolan Halbrook commented on ROL-1444:
-------------------------------------
One more thing to consider:
I've been using Spring MVC a lot and it allows you to easily merge content-type
and view technology into a bundle. This way you don't have the extra logic of
determining this in the servlet.
For example, you might define a base view like:
<bean id="vel-parent" abstract="true" abstract="true"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityToolboxView">
<property name="contentType" value="text/html"/>
<property name="toolboxConfigLocation"
value="/WEB-INF/velocity/toolbox.xml"/>
</bean>
but you could easily create "feed " views like:
<bean id="sonDetail" parent="vel-parent">
<property name="contentType" value="text/javascript"/>
<property name="url" value="/views/html/jsonDetail.vm"/>
</bean>
<bean id="xmlDetail" parent="vel-parent">
<property name="contentType" value="text/xml"/>
<property name="url" value="/views/html/xmlDetail.vm"/>
</bean>
However, i'm not sure how much Spring is welcome in the Roller project, not to
mention Spring MVC. I'm a big fan, but I understand it other methods are
preferred.

> It would be useful to me to have a JSON view of the feeds generated from
> FeedServlet. I'd be willing to do the work to make this happen and donate it
> back, but as it is to make this happen I'd have to sublcass virtually all of
> the FeedServlet and I'm trying to avoid too much customization -- it would be
> much nicer to roll this back into Roller.
> Basically as I see it this would involve modifying the FeedServlet and
> creating several .vm files (such as weblog-entries-json.vm) for the JSON
> views. Not sure how to handle the XSLT view yet.
> Does anyone see any good reason not to do this?
