SearchCriteria

public SearchCriteria(java.lang.Object arg1,
                      java.lang.Object arg2,
                      SearchCriteria.Operator operator)

Construct a search criteria

arg2 - a string object containing the value of the attribute to search with or an object of type SearchCriteria

operator - One of the values from Operator enum

Below is the code snippet that shows how to construct SearchCriteria where you want to search for 3 users by their login. Lets assume their login values are user1, user2 and user3

 
               SearchCriteria criteria, criteria1, criteria2, criteria3;
               
               criteria1 = new SearchCriteria("User Login", "user1",
               SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);

               criteria2 = new SearchCriteria("User Login", "user2",
                               SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);

               criteria3 = new SearchCriteria("User Login", "user3",
                               SearchCriteria.Operator.EQUAL);

               criteria = new SearchCriteria(criteria1, criteria2, Operator.OR);
               criteria = new SearchCriteria(criteria, criteria3, Operator.OR);
