Method Detail

init

public static void init(String searchConfigPath)
                 throws PortalException

Initialize the search context. This method reads and cache the search configuration, present in the file searchconfig.xml.

This method must be callled once before calls to any other method can be made, or a SearchException will be thrown.

Parameters:

searchConfigPath - path to the configuration file searchconfig.xml.

Throws:

PortalException

Since:

4.0.4

getSearchEngineConfigNode

public static Node getSearchEngineConfigNode(String searchEngineId)
                                      throws PortalException

Returns the configuration node for the a search engine.

If the search engine was not specified (passing null as argument), the default search engine will be used (which is the first declared in the configuration file).

Parameters:

searchEngineId - search engine identifier, or null for the default search engine

Returns:

configuration node for the search engine

Throws:

PortalException - if the context was not initialized or the given search engine was not found in the configuration.

Since:

4.0.4

getIndexerConfigNode

public static Node getIndexerConfigNode(String searchEngineId,
                        String indexerId)
                                 throws PortalException

Returns the configuration node for one of the search engine's indexers.

If the search engine was not specified (passing null as argument), the default search engine will be used (which is the first declared in the configuration file).

If the indexer was not specified (passing null as argument), the default indexer will be used (which is the first declared in the search engine configuration).

Parameters:

searchEngineId - search engine identifier, or null for the default search engine

indexerId - indexer identifier, or null for the default indexer of the search engine

Returns:

configuration node for the indexer

Throws:

PortalException - if the context was not initialized or the given search engine or the indexer was not found in the configuration.

Since:

4.0.4

getIndexerConfigNodes

public static Node[] getIndexerConfigNodes(String searchEngineId)
                                    throws PortalException

Returns the configuration nodes for all indexers of a search engine.

Parameters:

searchEngineId - search engine identifier, or null for the default search engine

Returns:

configuration nodes for the indexers

Throws:

PortalException - if the context was not initialized or the given search engine was not found in the configuration.

Since:

4.0.4

getSearcherConfigNode

public static Node getSearcherConfigNode(String searchEngineId,
                         String searcherId)
                                  throws PortalException

Returns the configuration node for one of the search engine's searchers.

If the search engine was not specified (passing null as argument), the default search engine will be used (which is the first declared in the configuration file).

If the searcher was not specified (passing null as argument), the default searcher will be used (which is the first declared in the search engine configuration).

Parameters:

searchEngineId - search engine identifier, or null for the default search engine

searcherId - searcher identifier, or null for the default searcher of the search engine

Returns:

configuration node for the searcher

Throws:

PortalException - if the context was not initialized or the given search engine or the searcher was not found in the configuration.

Since:

4.0.4

getSearcherConfigNodes

public static Node[] getSearcherConfigNodes(String searchEngineId)
                                     throws PortalException

Returns the configuration nodes for all searchers of a search engine.

Parameters:

searchEngineId - search engine identifier, or null for the default search engine

Returns:

configuration nodes for the searchers

Throws:

PortalException - if the context was not initialized or the given search engine was not found in the configuration.

Since:

4.0.4

getCriteriaNode

public static Node getCriteriaNode(String criteriaId)
                            throws PortalException

Returns the criteria node for a content criteria, which is used to check certain criteria against a SearchContent and eventually use a configuration defined specifically to this criteria.

Parameters:

criteriaId - criteria identification

Returns:

criteria node

Throws:

PortalException
