Overview:
* Just write a laszlo app
* Tweak the wrappers

Requirements:
OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 or later. 

The basics:
A blank app that will work on the iPhone is at blank.lzx. 

Running the application: 

To run this application during development, use Safari, and visit:
http://localhost:8080/trunk/demos/newsmatch/main.lzx?lzr=dhtml&lzt=html

To run this application with the developer's console:
http://localhost:8080/trunk/demos/newsmatch/main.lzx?lzr=dhtml

And, yes, it runs just the same in swf output:
http://localhost:8080/trunk/demos/newsmatch/main.lzx?lzr=swf8&lzt=html

To deploy: 
Use the SOLO deploy wizard to deploy as dhtml solo. [TODO: explain how.]

Unzip the contents of the solo deploy zip. 

If desired, edit the wrapper page to be dhtml that matches 
how the laszlo app looks when startup is complete. 

Notes:

filter.xsl, in this directory, is an xslt template to take
a large rss feed and filter it down to just what the iPhone demo
needs. 

For development, we captured a particular snapshot
of the yahoo images rss feed, and hand-edited it to contain just
the information we want to present. This let us minimize uncessary
downloading. In live deployment, you would do server-side 
processing on the xml feed to get it into exactly the shape
you want it. 


When data transfer is slower than a laden african swallow,
you have to be very careful with your bloated feeds.

Only download exactly what you need. 

Other files in this directory: 

deployer.rb automates these changes and a few others necessary for deployment on the openlaszlo.org website. Your particular deployment needs will
vary.

resources/ contains various image resources.
