Board Meeting - Control Feeds

Steve: Hi Again!! Well, I understood very well what I can do with the XML connector framework. Now, I am more interested to know how I can use this framework. I can generate XML feeds for my Genie application. But, how do I expose my data to SES?

Timothy: You can generate XML feeds and expose it to SES using two types of feeds - the control and the directory feed.

Lets start with the control feed. In a control feed, the individual feeds can be located anywhere and a single control file is generated containing links to the feeds. This control file is input to the connector through the configuration file. The control feed can be recursive - a link in control feed can point to another control feed. It uses the pagination mechanism.
