Class CompositeSearchSource

java.lang.Object
  com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.SearchSource
      com.raritantechnologies.searchApp.CompositeSearchSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

IQueryProcessor, IXMLSearchSourceFactory

public class CompositeSearchSource

extends SearchSource

implements IQueryProcessor, IXMLSearchSourceFactory

Builds a single, composite IResultSet from multiple search sources. Builds a dynamic search source based on a composite query composed of Subject-Predicate-Object triples consisting of direct search sources mapped to the triples, LookupQueryProcessor and DeduplicatingQueryProcessor filters to handle the mapping of Subject-to-Subject and Object-To-Subject links in the composite query.

Example:

    Find officers of Company 
    where
       Company located in United States
       and Company industry classiciation is Electronics
 

Expressed as an RTI query map:

    resultType="officers"
    resultSubject="Company"
    locatedIn="United States"
    industryClassification="Electronics"

Method Detail

getQueryProcessor

public IQueryProcessor getQueryProcessor()

Description copied from class: SearchSource

returns the type of QueryProcessor that can access this SearchSource.

Specified by:

getQueryProcessor in class SearchSource

executeQuery

public IResultSet executeQuery(java.lang.Integer queryID,
                               ISearchFieldMap searchMap,
                               SourceLoginInfo[] sources,
                               OrderedMap inputParameters,
                               java.lang.Integer pageSize,
                               java.lang.Integer startRec)
                        throws QueryProcessorException

Executes a composite query. For each field, finds the searchSource that maps to the field name.

Specified by:

executeQuery in interface IQueryProcessor

Parameters:

queryID - Unique ID for this query. Used by front end to manage queries and query pages. QueryProcessor may use this parameter to organize its search results, and to organize any state information it needs to process future page requests (future executeQuery( ) calls with the same queryID.

searchMap - Provides mapping information needed to translate the inputParameters into a search string appropriate for this type of QueryProcessor. Mapping information is obtained by the application framework from local configuration data.

sources - The LoginInfo and SearchSource(s) to be used for this query. The SearchSource(s) must be of the appropriate type for the QueryProcessor.

inputParameters - Form inputs. Use ISearchFieldMap to translate these into implementation and source-specific fields.

pageSize - Integer specifying the number of results to include in the returned Document. if null - use the default page size.

startRec - Integer specifying the starting record in the result set to be returned. if null - start with the first record.

Returns:

IResultSet containing result set.

Throws:

QueryProcessorException

getSourcePropertyNames

public java.lang.String[] getSourcePropertyNames()

Description copied from class: SearchSource

Returns a list of Source type specific property names.

Overrides:

getSourcePropertyNames in class SearchSource

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String property)

Description copied from class: SearchSource

returns a Source Property. The standard pattern is to return a String or Object if a property has a single value and a String or Object Array if the property has multiple values.

Overrides:

getProperty in class SearchSource

createSearchSources

public SearchSource[] createSearchSources(org.w3c.dom.Element sourceElem,
                                          ISearchFieldMapFactory factory)

Specified by:

createSearchSources in interface IXMLSearchSourceFactory

initializeSource

public void initializeSource(org.w3c.dom.Element sourceElem,
                             SearchSource source)

Specified by:

initializeSource in interface IXMLSearchSourceFactory
