rss.controller
Class Controller

java.lang.Object
  rss.controller.Controller

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataListener, CoreListener

public class Controller
extends java.lang.Object
implements CoreListener, DataListener

Controller is used as a message handler for the 3 main components of the RSS application. The GUI sends Events to its the Controller, which then processes those events by starting new threads where necessary. These processes can make calls to functionality of the program, such as searching, parsing, and updating, or queries to the data source for feeds and feed items.

The Controller's main purpose is to avoid letting the GUI communicate directly with the data source or functionality classes.
