Adding the custom namespace definition to the feed

The first requirement is to add the namespace reference to the <rss> element at the beginning of the feed.

About this task

The URL of the namespace is specified by using the following tag:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:ibmwcm="http://purl.org/net/ibmfeedsvc/wcm/1.0" >

This is a fixed property value that the feed parser uses as the key to identify elements that belong to the custom Web Content Integrator namespace.

Example

For example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<rss version="2.0" xmlns:ibmwcm="http://purl.org/net/ibmfeedsvc/wcm/1.0" >
	<channel>
		<title>Sample Feed</title>
		<link>http://www.ibm.com/feeds/sample.rss</link>
		<description>An example RSS Feed</description>
		<lastBuildDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:31:00 EST</lastBuildDate>
		<item>
			<title>News Item Two</title>
			<link>http://www.ibm.com/news/two.htm</link>
			<description>
			This is a summary of the second news article
			</description>
			<pubDate> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:31:00 EST</pubDate>
			<ibmwcm:itemType>Content</ibmwcm:itemType>
		</item>
	</channel>
</rss>

The namespace label "ibmwcm" can be changed if the label specified in the namespace declaration matches the label that is used on the extended elements in the feed.
