Direct Known Subclasses:

SearchFormHandler

public class SearchFormHandler
extends GenericFormHandler

This form handler can be used to search repositories with any combination of several search types: Keyword, Text, Hierarchical, Advanced. Each of these types are enabled with a boolean parameter. The handler examines each boolean and if true, appends that search's subquery to the full query string.

General Properties

Set one or more of the following properties to "true" to enable a search type:

doKeywordSearch

look in multiple text properties for one or more keywords

doTextSearch

perform a full-text search for a specified search string in one or more text properties

doHierarchicalSearch

find all decendents of a specified repository item

doAdvancedSearch

similar to a Keyword search, except that we test properties for an exact match rather than matching substrings within the property

Multiple repositories and item-types can be simultaneously searched. If multiple item-types are searched, each must exist in all repositories. Search results of the same item from multiple repositories are combined. Set the following properties to define the search source(s):

repositories

array of repository components to search

itemTypes

array of the names of the items to search

To control the size of the results, use:

maxRowCount

the maximum number of rows to return. Set to -1 to return all rows. The default value is -1.

To disallow an empty search from being run, use:

allowEmptySearch

If false, the handler will throw a DropletFormException if none of the search types have a non-null or non-blank (if string) value. The default value is "true"

Queries may also be refined and then rerun. When this option is enabled, subsequent searches effectively search the results of the previous query.

allowRefine

set to true to turn on query refining. The default value is "false"

previouslySubmitted

will be set to true if the handler has previously handled a query in the current session (handler must be session-scoped). Property is reset to "false" if the query is cleared.

Keyword Search Properties

Keyword searching takes a set of property names and a search string(s). Each property will be searched for these strings. You may also search *ALL* string properties (excluding enumerated and non-queriable properties) of an item by simply leaving the property keywordSearchPropertyNames empty.

keywordSearchPropertyNames

array of property names to search in the format "item-type-name.property-name". Leave empty to search all string properties.

keywords

array of keyword strings to search for. If not set, will use keywordInput property

keywordInput

alternative way to search keywords. Unlike keywords, this property allows logical operators (AND, OR, NOT, &, |, !) and supports parenthesis '(' and ')' to group logic. Quote keyword values with single or double quotes if they include spaces. Quote types may not be mixed. Logical operators are optional; 'OR' will be used by default

toUpperCaseKeywords

set this to "true" to force keywords to be converted to upper-case before the query is run

toLowerCaseKeywords

set this to "true" to force keywords to be converted to lower-case before the query is run

Text Search Properties

Text searching takes a list of text property names and an input search string to do text pattern matching. Values entered will be used to build the sub-query for text searching.

textSearchPropertyNames

list of property names to search in the format "item-type-name.property-name". If not specified, the default list of text properties configured in the repository will be used.

searchStringFormat

the format to use i.e. "ORACLE_CONTEXT", "SYBASE_SDS"

textInput

The string to search for. If a repository is configured to simulate full-text queries (simulateTextSearchQueries=true), the SQL LIKE operator will be used to determine whether the target value is a substring of any of the text properties being searched.

allowWildcards

If true, the wildcard character '*' can be used anywhere in the input string to represent any number of characters. True by default.

minScore

minimum required score that the results must meet or exceed in order to be returned by the full-text search engine. See vendor docs for more information on the meaning and use of the score value. [NOTE: Current repository implementations don't yet support this feature of full-text searches.]

Hierarchical Search Properties

Hierarchical searches look in a subset of items, starting from a given item, including also that items's child items, and also those children's children, i.e. all descendants of the original item. The given item is indicated by the repository ID in the ancestorId property.

ancestorPropertyName

the name of the property in which to search for ancestor repository items

ancestorId

the property that represents the repositoryId of the ancestor item to search in

Advanced Search Properties

Advanced searching takes a list of properties and values or ranges of values for those properties and looks for an exact match. Additionally, the Advanced Search can be used to provide all possible search values for properties specified in AdvancedSearchPropertyNames. For example, enumerated types will be defined in the repository with a set number of values. Advanced searching can retrieve these values to be displayed in a select box.

advancedSearchPropertyNames

list of property names to search. Format: type.property

advancedSearchPropertyValues

propery names mapped to search values. Fortat: type.property=value

advancedSearchPropertyRanges

For each property searched, you can specify a value "range" rather than a single value. Either a maximum or minimum value or both may be specified. Ranges are set by item type, then property name, and finally by "max" or "min". For example, "mySearchHandler.advancedSearchPropertyRanges .product.creationDate.max"

propertyValuesByType

dictionary containing one key/value pair for each property named in advancedSearchPropertyNames whose type is either enumerated, RepositoryItem or a collection of RepositoryItems. The key is the name of the property and the value is a Collection of the possible values. If the property type a collection of RepositoryItems, the value will be a collection of RepositoryItem. Alternatively, if the property type is RepositoryItem a property of each item is returned as described below.

displayName

when a property of an item being searched is another RepositoryItem, by default we search the child item's property named "displayName" if it exists. In the same way, values returned by the property propertyValuesByType will be values of the property "displayName" when the property is a RepositoryItem. Use this property to override the default name of "displayName"

Form Actions

In addition to the standard "cancel" action of all form handlers:

search

execute the search and store the results. The Keyword and Text queries are OR'ed together. The Advanced and Hierarchical queries are AND'ed together, and these combined queries are then AND'ed. That is: ( (Keyword OR Text) AND (Advanced AND Hierarchical).

clearQuery

this action is used in combination with the property allowRefine. It will force the previous query to be cleared so that the user may begin refining their query anew.

Retrieving Results

Once the query has been performed, the results are available both as a single collection and by item-type:

searchResults

a Collection of all items that satisfied the search criteria. If searching multiple item types, all items returned by the search appear in the list regardless of their type.

searchResultsByItemType

a map containing one key/value pair for each item type you searched for. The key is the item-type name and the value is a Collection of items of that type that satisfied the search criteria. This property should not be used in combination with page navigation.

Page Navigation

A set of properties and actions are provided to allow a JHTML developer to create controls which navigate between pages of results. Note that Page Navigation requires that no more than one item type be searched. Use the the following properties to create "Next", "Previous" or "Go to Page #" buttons.

enableCountQuery

turns the page navigation functionality on

maxResultsPerPage

this property represents the maximum number of search results to present on a page. If there are more than maxResultsPerPage that fit the search criteria, the next set of results can be displayed when the user hits a "Next" button. Default value is -1 which indicates no maximum.

currentResultPageNum

the page of the result set is currently being viewed. Be aware that this is a 1 based number so that it is displayable to the user. Set this property to update the set of results for the current page. The default value is 1.

resultSetSize

represents the total number of items matching the query

resultPageCount

the number of pages of results. This is calculated as the resultSetSize / maxResultsPerPage + 1 if any remainder exists

startIndex

the index (0-based, inclusive) of the first record in the full result set which is displayed on the current page. This property is read-only.

endIndex

the index (0-based, exclusive) of the last record in the full result set which is displayed on the current page. This property is read-only.

startCount

the index (1-based, inclusive) of the first record in the full result set which is displayed on the current page. This property this can be used to display the current range of results displayed, i.e. "1-10 out of 100". This property is read-only.

endCount

the index (1-based, inclusive) of the last record in the full result set which is displayed on the current page. This property this can be used to display the current range of results displayed, i.e. "1-10 out of 100". This property is read-only.

Redirection

Properties are available for setting a URL for conditional redirection. If a URL parameter is not set, the redirection will not take place.

successURL

used if the query is successful and no form errors are encountered

errorURL

used if query fails or a form error occurs

clearQueryURL

used if the clearQuery action is called

Site Filter

If the items being searched have a site membership property, the returned items can be filtered to only include specific sites. The default behavior is to filter on the current site. Either a list of sites can be specified or a siteScope that specifies all, any, none, or a shareable id.

siteIds

an array of site ID's to filter items by

siteScope

can be current or null to filter on current site, any to filter items that have at least one site, all to not filter by site

, none to filter on items that don't have site membership, or any shareable id to filter on the sites that share a ShareableType

isIncludeInactiveSites

If filtering on sites, include active sites.

isIncludeDisabledSites

If filtering on sites, include disabled sites.

Used by the advanced searching feature. Returns a list of available search options for pPropertyName. Will search through all itemTypes and collect all values for properties. For example, an enumerated property will be defined in the repository item descriptor with a set of values. This method will get possible values from the property descriptor. Other properties may need a repository query to obtain those options. This collection of searchValues can then be displayed in a select box to further refine advanced searching.

pPropertyName - name of the property to get possible values for

Returns:

options or null if no values could be found

generateSiteFilter

protected atg.repository.ContextFilteringRules generateSiteFilter()

Generates the ContextFilteringRules to filter the query based on the sites. Uses the siteIds property as a list of sites. If siteIds is null, siteScope is used. If siteScope is null, null will be returned. If siteScope is "current", null is returned so the current SiteContext will filter the query. If siteScope is "all", the filter will be set to use ALL sites. If siteScope is any, the filter will be set to ANY. If siteScope is "none", the filter will be set to NONE. All other values of siteScope will be used as a ShareableType id. The list of sites sharing that id will be used to filter the query. If no sites are found sharing that ShareableType id with the current site, the query will be filtered to use ANY site. If includeInactiveSites is false, the site list will be filtered to only contain active sites. This filtering will occurr if the sites property is used or if the siteScope is "any" or a shareable id.

Returns:

The site filter

filterSiteList

protected java.lang.String[] filterSiteList(java.lang.String[] pSites)

Filters the site array used in generateSiteFilter(). This method is called when the sites property is set or a ShareableType id is used to get a list of sites.
