  com.iplanet.am.sdk.AMSearchControl

Deprecated. As of Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1.

public class AMSearchControl
extends Object

This class provides a way to customize Search behaviors. Common behaviors are time limit, result limit and Virtual list view. In future, we will provide ways for client to define different hierarchical tree through AMSearchControl.

Constructor Detail

AMSearchControl

public AMSearchControl()

Deprecated.

Creates the AMSearchControl object

Method Detail

getSearchControl

protected com.iplanet.ums.SearchControl getSearchControl()

Deprecated.

setReturnAttributes

public void setReturnAttributes(Set attributeNames)

Deprecated.

Set the return attribute names, if attributes of the entries need to be obtained as part of the search. NOTE: If the return attribute values are specified as part of AMSearchControl, there could be a significant performance overhead compared to when none are specified. When the return attributes are set, the return attributes can be obtained as a map with DN as map-key and set of attribute values as map-value from AMSearchResults object.

Parameters:

attributeNames - Set of attribute names whose values need to be obtained as part of the search.

getReturnAttributes

public String[] getReturnAttributes()

Deprecated.

Returns the list of attributes requested to be read when the search is performed.

Returns:

list of attributes requested to be read.

setAllReturnAttributes

public void setAllReturnAttributes(boolean getAllAttributes)

Deprecated.

Sets the specified boolean value to the variable. Boolean value is set to true, if all attributes of the entries need to be obtained as part of the search. NOTE: If this getAllReturnAttributes boolean is set to true as part of AMSearchControl, it overrides any other setReturnAttributes set as part of the AMSearchControl. This is similar to using a wildcard '*' in search. When the option for getting all attributes is set to true, the search results will return a Map, where the Key is the DN of the search results, and value is another Map of attribute names for keys and Sets for values of those attributes.

Parameters:

getAllAttributes - Boolean value set to true as part of the AMSearchControl to obtain all attributes as part of the search.

isGetAllReturnAttributesEnabled

public boolean isGetAllReturnAttributesEnabled()

Deprecated.

Returns true if the option for getting all attributes has been enabled.

Returns:

true if the option for getting all attributes has been enabled.

setSortKeys

public void setSortKeys(String[] attributeNames)

Deprecated.

Set sort order based on attribute names.

Parameters:

attributeNames - array of attribute names to sort on

setVLVRange

protected void setVLVRange(int startIndex,
                           int beforeCount,
                           int afterCount)

Deprecated.

Set range for retrieving VLV data.

Parameters:

startIndex - starting position.

beforeCount - Number of entries before the startIndex.

afterCount - Number of entries after the startIndex.

setVLVRange

protected void setVLVRange(String jumpTo,
                           int beforeCount,
                           int afterCount)

Deprecated.

Set range for retrieving VLV data.

Parameters:

jumpTo - Search expression defining the result set return.

beforeCount - Number of entries before the startIndex.

afterCount - Number of entries after the startIndex.

getVLVRange

protected int[] getVLVRange()

Deprecated.

Get range for current VLV setting.

Returns:

array of integers which contain startIndex, beforeCount and afterCount.

getVLVJumpTo

protected String getVLVJumpTo()

Deprecated.

Returns jumpTo value for VLV range.

Returns:

jumpTo value.

setTimeOut

public void setTimeOut(int timeOut)

Deprecated.

Sets the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for any operation for the search.

Parameters:

timeOut - Max number of milliseconds

getTimeOut

public int getTimeOut()

Deprecated.

Returns current time out setting.

Returns:

current time out setting.

setMaxResults

public void setMaxResults(int maxNumber)

Deprecated.

Sets the maximum number of search results to return; 0 means there is no limit.

Parameters:

maxNumber - Max number of results

getMaxResults

public int getMaxResults()

Deprecated.

Returns the maximum number of search results. return 0 means there is no limit.

Returns:

the maximum number of search results.

setSearchScope

public void setSearchScope(int scope)

Deprecated.

Sets the search scope in AMSearchControl.

Parameters:

scope - Search scope defined in the AMSearchControl to be used with the search API

getSearchScope

public int getSearchScope()

Deprecated.

Gets the search scope defined in the AMSearchControl.

Returns:

search scope defined in the AMSearchControl. If search scope is never defined in the AMSearchControl SCOPE_SUB for subtree type of search is assumed.

getSearchScope

public int getSearchScope(int defaultScope)

Deprecated.

Gets the search scope defined in the AMSearchControl. Allows a user to specify default search scope if nothing has been defined in the AMSearchControl yet.

Parameters:

defaultScope - Scope value to be used in case the AMSearchControl is not set up with a search scope

Returns:

Search scope defined in the AMSearchControl. Return defaultScope if scope is not defined in the control.
