Make elements on a page into an rss feed
Very unfinished at this point, done as a Spring/Vaadin excercise with practically zero previous experience
#Usage
Should "just work" when run with maven mvn spring-boot:run
Visit http://localhost:8080/rssifier with your browser.
The UI is pretty horrible as-is, but here are some values to try:
###Page URL:
http://www.tuulivoimayhdistys.fi/ajankohtaista/uutiset
(click on "Download URL")
###Item selector
.articles_article
###Link selector
a
###Link attribut
href
###Next page link selector
.zfse_pageNext a
###Next page link attribute
href
When you click on "Generate RSS feed now", an xml file should appear under rssifier-work directory, is a subdirectory
that resembles the id attribute in the browser's address field (http://localhost:8080/rssifier/edit?id=<page id>),
except grouped in 2 character groups, with each character group forming a new sub directory. I.e. aabbcc --> aa/bb/cc
You can also access the feed as an actual RSS feed by visiting the address
http://localhost:8080/rssifier/feed/<page id>, after clicking on the "Generate RSS feed now" button
##TODO:
- a timed task to refresh the page content periodically
- Purge old entries and feeds that no-one has read
- actually fetch content from following pages using the url from "next page" selector
