WSO2 ESB Feed Connector

Atom is the name of an XML-based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources belonging to periodically updated websites. All Atom feeds must be well-formed XML documents, and are identified with the application/atom+xml media type.

To use the Feed Connector first we need to configure the Server on Backend to receive the requests from connector. (sample sever implementation Here ). for more Details.

Sample configuration

Following is a sample proxy service that illustrates how to connect to feed conector with the CreateFeedoperation.
