Media RSS Plugin for ROME - howto

Rome, the Rss Java library, is extensible using Modules.
This is how to integrate the Media Module (http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/) by Yahoo!

Getting the library:

Download the jar from java.net here - code there is not very useful.

Maven:

Add to your pom.xml this repository:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>dist.wso2.org</id>
        <name>dist.wso2.org</name>
        <url>
            http://dist.wso2.org/maven2/
        </url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

and this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>rome</groupId>
    <artifactId>rome-mediarss</artifactId>
     <!-- rome Yahoo! Media RSS Plugin for ROME , hosted on http://dist.wso2.org/maven2-->
    <version>0.2.2</version>
</dependency>

Java Code:

You can iterate through your Media Content like this:

SyndFeed feed = input.build(new XmlReader( method.getResponseBodyAsStream() ));
List entries = feed.getEntries();
for( Object obj : entries ) {  
    SyndEntry e = (SyndEntry) obj;
    MediaModule mediaModule = (MediaModule)e.getModule( MEDIA_NS );

    if (mediaModule!=null && mediaModule instanceof MediaEntryModule ){
        MediaEntryModule mentry = (MediaEntryModule ) mediaModule;

        for (MediaGroup mg : mentry.getMediaGroups()) {
            for (MediaContent mc : mg.getContents()) {
                if (mc.getType()!=null && mc.getType().startsWith("image")) {
                    String imgUrl = mc.getReference().toString();
                    // etc...
                }
            }
        }
}

In this case I was interested in getting image urls.
