AW: [smila-dev] New Feature: Agent and AgentController

Hi Georg,
some comments inline.

Thanks.

There is no such section. Documentation is intended to contain a "as is"
description of the current state of SMILA components.
We don't want it to contain discussions or brainstorming. Feel free to
create a new page within http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/Project_Concepts
or http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/Project_Concepts or start a discussion
using the mailing lists or the newsgroup.

You're welcome.

My knowledge about JAXB and XSD is somewhat limited :-(
I guess this is a general problem belonging to topic "Configuration
Handling". We should not mix it with the Agent discussion.

No, the current implementation of the FeedAgent is pretty simple. Every
incoming feed and it's elements are processed sequentially. But it
should be possible to enhance the implementation using a pool of worker
threads to do the processing of feeds or feed elements.
As incoming messages various formats of RSS and Atom are supported by
the underlying ROME SDK.
Feel free to contribute a more generic message processing agent :-)
Bye,
Daniel
