Depending on your requirements, you may be able to use multiple functions in the WebAPI definition, or use a custom Java plugin, but ensure that these are performant since this could create load issues in the environment, and a slow-responding Web API for the end user.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
