The Oracle Application Server Syndication Services API provides a Java interface to access OracleAS Syndication Services, browse the catalog of offers available, subscribe to an offer, and get the offer content package. Additional APIs are available to manage subscriptions, control their status and cancel them.
To start building a OracleAS Syndication Services client application, refer to the documentation of the SyndicateConnectionFactory class. This will allow you to create a SyndicateConnection instance from which you will be able to access the OracleAS Syndication Services.
To set-up and customize a syndication client listening to content packages pushed by the syndication services server refer to the documentation of the SyndicateClientServlet.

Additionally APIs are provided to develop Content Provider Adaptors (Content Connectors) which are used by the server component of the OracleAS Syndicatation Services to connect to external content repositories and create offer for the repository resources. Refer to the documentation of the CPAdaptor interface from more details.
