Description

Pubsubhubbub binding
====================

Use Pubsubhubbub, a promising web-based push / publish-subscribe protocol (initial spec from Google and Six Apart) to allow application components to subscribe to updates to ATOM and RSS feeds. Demonstrate SCA/Tuscany components using an SCA/Pubsubhubbub binding to talk through Google's Pubsub Hub test server.

The project should be a good opportunity for students to learn and experiment with new component-based programming models, the ATOM and RSS protocols and this new cool Pubsubhubbub web protocol.
