While playing with <x:rssTicker> I noticed some problems in accessing some RSS newsfeeds which I tracked down so far in suspected failure of parsing RSS contents of some sites, e.g. Heise News (one of the most important german - computer an internet related - online news sites) http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf.
It looks like "loadNews()" in "HtmlRssTicker.java" fails at line #107 "this._channel = (Channel)_digester.parse(string);" (this is a call in "org.apache.commons.digester.rss.RSSDigester") with a message like "No connection to internet...". This is definitely wrong because trying on the same system at the same time accessing the RSS feed using an HTML browser (e.g. a recent version of Firefox) displays the RSS XML data without any problems. Can anybody verify this or even supply a workaround or at least point me at the right place to "complain"? Michael PS: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.miwie.org
