I hacked up a very simple RSDServlet which uses velocity and I am willing to
commit it if everyone is in agreement. This will add a new servlet mapped to
/rsd/*, so that you can get the rsd for a weblog via /rsd/<handle>.
Here's the code if anyone really wants to take a look ...
public class RSDServlet extends VelocityServlet {
private static Log mLogger = LogFactory.getLog(RSDServlet.class);
/**
* Process a request for an rsd file.
*/
public Template handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
Context ctx)
throws IOException {
Template template = null;
WeblogRequest weblogRequest = null;
WebsiteData weblog = null;
// first off lets parse the incoming request and validate it
try {
weblogRequest = new WeblogRequest(request);
// now make sure the specified weblog really exists
UserManager userMgr = RollerFactory.getRoller().getUserManager();
weblog =
userMgr.getWebsiteByHandle(weblogRequest.getWeblogHandle(), Boolean.TRUE);
} catch(InvalidRequestException ire) {
// An error initializing the request is considered to be a 404
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
request.setAttribute("DisplayException", ire);
mLogger.error("Bad Request: "+ire.getMessage());
return null;
} catch(RollerException re) {
// error looking up the weblog, we assume it doesn't exist
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
request.setAttribute("DisplayException", re);
mLogger.warn("Unable to lookup weblog ["+
weblogRequest.getWeblogHandle()+"] "+re.getMessage());
return null;
}
// request appears to be valid, lets render
try {
// setup context
ctx.put("website", weblog);
RollerContext rollerContext = new RollerContext();
ctx.put("absBaseURL", rollerContext.getAbsoluteContextUrl(request));
// lookup our rsd template
template = getTemplate("/flavors/rsd.vm");
// make sure response content type is properly set
response.setContentType("application/rsd+xml");
} catch(ResourceNotFoundException rnfe ) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND);
request.setAttribute("DisplayException", rnfe);
mLogger.warn("ResourceNotFound: "+ request.getRequestURL());
mLogger.debug(rnfe);
} catch(Exception e) {
response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
request.setAttribute("DisplayException", e);
mLogger.error("Unexpected exception", e);
}
return template;
}
}
and the rsd.vm file ...
<rsd version="1.0">
