World News Portlet - RSS Content Syndication

Question

Hi,
The world news porltet given with the Sample Portal of Bea weblogic 7.0 throws
an error of "StringIndexOutOfBound -1"
Could anyone give any pointers as to what could be the reason for this error.
Could it be the problem with the proxy ? if yes then any pointers to how it could
be solved would be helpful.
Thanks,
Parul

Yes it works :)
Choose the type XML
XML URL: ...
XSL-Filter-URL: http:// - server - /omniportletnews.xsl.xml
see my xml below.
view: choose -> HTML
Layout:
head:
<TABLE BORDER='0' WIDTH="100%">
middle:
<TR CLASS='PortletText1'>
<TD>##title##</TD>
</TR>
fooder:
</TABLE>
thats all.
save the following xml on a availible web server: omniportletnews.xsl.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
