Changing the Default Query

The query that appears as the default in the Select Predefined Query drop-down list is Basic Query, which allows users to search for registry objects by name, description, and classification.

As an administrator, you can change this default to a query that is appropriate to your installation. For example, you might want the default query to be a new predefined query that you added to the Registry, as described in Adding Predefined Queries. To make this change, edit a property in a configuration file.

To Change the Default Query

1. Change to the directory RegistryDomain-base/domains/registry/applications/j2ee-modules/soar/WEB-INF/classes.

2. Open the file jaxr-ebxml.properties in a text editor.

3. Find the definition of the property jaxr-ebxml.thin.defaultQueryPanel. By default, this property is commented out:

   #jaxr-ebxml.thin.defaultQueryPanel=

4. Remove the comment character (#).

5. Set the value of the property by specifying the logical identifier of the query that will be the default, as in the following example:

   jaxr-ebxml.thin.defaultQueryPanel=urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:query:MyQuery

6. Save and close the jaxr-ebxml.properties file.

7. Follow the instructions in To Stop and Restart the Application Server Domain for the Registry.
