Hi there!

I have been trying to programatically get a list of blogs for a user, and then extract his blogID followed by a post to the selected blogs.

The meta-feed URL in the documentation didnt work, so I tried https://www.blogger.com/atom which worked from my browser. However, when I used this in my java code, I intermittently got a Null Pointer Exception and a SAXParseException. Often times I ended up getting a 500.py error on the metafeed URL from my browser. Anyway, here is the code snippet:

URL feedUrl = new URL("https://www.blogger.com/atom"); GoogleService myService = new GoogleService("blogger","My Test Application"); myService.setUserCredentials("someuser", "somepass"); Feed resultFeed = myService.getFeed(feedUrl,Feed.class);

And here is the SAXParseException. I am using JDK 1.5_08.

Fatal Error] :9:5: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".

Apparently this is something from the JDK's XML parser..

Any help is appreciated!
