I've just updated my blog to show my recent del.icio.us bookmarks and this was really easy to do, thanks to blojsom David's delicious-java API. All I needed to do was...

1. Wrap up delicious-java inside a cache so that del.icio.us doesn't get hit every time somebody requests my site.
2. Write a JSP tag that uses the cache, which can then be used as follows.

<delicious:posts var="deliciousPosts" username="****" password="****"/>
<b>del.icio.us</b>
<c:forEach var="post" items="${deliciousPosts}">
  <div>
  <a href="<c:out value="${post.href}"/>">
  <c:out value="${post.description}"/>
  </a><br />
  <c:out value="${post.extended}" /><br /><br />
  </div>
</c:forEach>

If anybody else would like to use this on their JSP powered blog, just leave a comment and I'll sort out a download.
