Unable to fetch RSS feeds

[argopm]

Hi All,

I am trying to use RSS feeds to show latest news. Initially i tried to fetch RSS using contentURL of HTMLPane but it throws an error to use XJSONDataSource (refer attached screen shot). Then i have used XJSONDataSource but it is unable to fetch live data; however if i save the data in an XML and if i use RestDataSource then it display the data. Below is my code:

isc.XJSONDataSource.create({
ID:"newsRSSFeedsDS",
dataFormat : "json",
showPrompt:false,
dataTransport : "scriptInclude",
//dataURL:"http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot",
dataURL:"http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/bbcrss.xml",
//dataURL:"../bbcrss.xml",
/*transformResponse: function (dsResponse, dsRequest, data){
	eval(data);
},
*/
recordXPath: "//item",
fields: [
        { name: "title" },
        { name: "link", type: "link" }
    ]

});


isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "newsViewer",
	width: "100%",
    height:"300",
	dataSource:"newsRSSFeedsDS",
	autoFetchData: true,
	autoDraw:false,
	showHeader:false,
		fields: [
        { name: "title" },
        { name: "link", type: "link" }
    ]
});

I have also tried by setting dataFormat as 'xml' but it is not working.

Please guide me to correct solution.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Take a look at this tutorial: News Reader. It details a way around the cross-site limitation.

Hi,

I have tried the code suggested by davidj6. Thanks to him again. Things are working pretty fine...but I am getting "too much recursion" error on FireFox and IE is crashing.
Error is:

[Break on this error] "too much recursion",
isc.A.$fv=function(_1){var _2;if(_1==nu...1.getID():_1.getClassName());return _2}
ISC_Core.js (line 776)

Below is my code:

isc.XJSONDataSource.create({
ID:"newsFeed",
showPrompt:false,
recordXPath: "/query/results/item",

dataURL:'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20title%2CpubDate%2Clink%2Cdescription%20from%20rss(0%2C6)%20where%20%20%20url%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fin.biz.yahoo.com%2Fbusiness-news%2Frss%2Findia-business-rss.xml%22&format=json',
fields:[
{ name: "title",primaryKey:true  },
{ name: "pubDate" },
{ name: "link" },
{ name: "description" }
]
});

Please correct me.

Thanks,
Mahesh
