com.bea.content.expression
Class SearchTranslator

java.lang.Object
  com.bea.content.expression.SearchTranslator

public abstract class SearchTranslator
extends Object

Abstract class for third-party repositories to extend and use as a helper to translate repository-specific search syntax to/from a com.bea.content.expression.Search object.

For example, in the SearchOps implementation of public ID[] search(Search search) public ID[] search(Search search) { SearchTranslator translator = new FooSearchTranslator(); // Your implementation String searchExpr = translator.parseSearchObject(search); return translator.search(searchExpr); }

Client code could use the SearchTranslator to create the Search object needed by SearchOps SearchTranslator translator = new FooSearchTranslator(); Search search = translator.transformSyntax("keyword:foo"); // this is a contrived example. Use valid syntax for your repository ISearchManager searchManager = ContentManagerFactory.getSearchManager(); ISortableFilterablePagedList results = searchManager.search(new ContentContext(), search);
