Browsing feeds

Now that you've imported some feeds, it's time to view them in the web browser. The ability to browse through tags and view available resources is built into WireHose.

  1. Choose Edit Active Executable 'HelloWorld' from the Project menu.
  2. Uncheck the Use column for the -ImportFeeds YES argument so feeds won't be imported.
  3. Launch the application, and open this URL in your browser:
    http://127.0.0.1:2020/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HelloWorld.woa/wa/Drill
  4. Browse through the available categories to see the feeds.

    The Drill direct action, defined in the WireHoseLayoutSupport framework, acts as a cover for the WHTagDrillerPage component. A tag driller page renders the current tag and its child tags, and displays the resources tagged with the current tag. Each tag is rendered as a hypertext link to the Drill direct action with its path.
