Class AbstractNewsController

java.lang.Object

org.jasig.portlet.newsreader.mvc.AbstractNewsController

Direct Known Subclasses:

NewsController

public class AbstractNewsController
extends Object

Creating an abstract superclass for news in VIEW mode as a first step toward combining controllers for single-feed and regular. I believe we'd be better served -- have less chance for mismatch and regression -- if the 2 approaches used the same controllers, and the differences in behavior were factored out into different subclasses of service objects. We could then configure these services appropriately in each portlet's Spring sub-context. So I suggest factoring common code out of the subclasses (and into here) bit-by-bit until the controllers are no different, at which point we can remove this class if it seems like a good idea then.
