Hi, Sorry for the long response time; I don't have access to e-mail (or Jetspeed) over the weekend.
I was indeed confused about some of those parent tags. It appears that the sample RSS feeds that are configured by default when Jetspeed is installed are actually defined in feed_local.xreg. I was confused because whoever wrote the examples chose to use the URL as both the <url> and the name= in the portlet entries. However, I direct your attention to the entry whose name="RemoteRSS". I can see no reason why this portlet shouldn't render. I also tried adding entries to feed_local.xreg, but it seems that the file is overwritten every time I start or stop Tomcat/Jetspeed. I tried putting my entries in other .xreg files in the /jetspeed/WEB-INF/conf/ subdirectory (like local-portlets.xreg or my_feeds.xreg) but when I reference these portlets in default.psml I still don't see anything being rendered. Are RSS files on the localhost treated specially in some way? I can't imagine why a portlet that references a file on localhost would render, yet portlets that reference RSS files on other websites wouldn't. (Especially when WebPagePortlets work just fine.)
