Due 9:40AM December 1, 2008
- Examine the RSS feed from
http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml. Create a
class FeedItem to store relevant information about the item elements of
the feed. Include (at least) the general title of the feed, the title
of the item, the description of the item, the author of the item, and
the publication date.
- Implement one or more methods to download the New York
Times feed
specified above and generate an ArrayList of FeedItem objects. For the
single NYTimes feed, you will have several items, all with the same
feed title. Maintain your ArrayList sorted, by the pubDate of the
items. In order to accomplish this, you will need to extract and store
each piece of information from the pubDate (month, day, etc) separately.
