As I'm not that familiar with RSS, although I should be! I took the time to see how it should work I found a couple of useful websites which showed me how it should be done:
From this I realised that it works by uploading a file(only one file) which an RSSreader points too and reads and the XML items within it point at various point on the web page, this will the the help documentation in my case.
I'm not sure now if my research on glassfish the other day was irrelevant, however it may be needed to upload files to the server. I understand that the file on the server is updated and this in turn filters down to the RSSfeeds. I'm still not entirely clued up on this but I'm making progress.
A link previously referenced, the one which described how to create an RSSfeed in java was investigated today. I managed to get this working and upload the file it created to some webspace. I then downloaded feedreader and pointed it at the file and it worked!! This will be a good foundation for my feed, bit's will need modifying however. I'm not sure what implications using code off of the net will have, I will have to speak to Mike about it.
