Method Detail

autoSearch

public org.licas_xml.abs.Element autoSearch(java.lang.String queryEngine,
                                            int callTimeout,
                                            org.licas_xml.abs.Element request,
                                            ServiceLinks serverLinks)
                                     throws java.lang.Exception

Allow the server to perform queries over all of the registered autonomic managers, to find matching information. To be recognised by the default classes, the root request element should have the tag name of QueryConst.QUERYMODEL, or 'Query_Model'. This should then contain a description of the query request. For this default model, the XML request that is passed in needs to be parsed by a QueryParser parser into a QueryModel object, of the 'licas_text' package. This is what the default classes will then evaluate. The documentation describes the different fields in more detail.

Specified by:

autoSearch in interface AutoMetaSearchDef

Parameters:

queryEngine - the query engine type. Required for a distributed query.

callTimeout - maximum time allowed for the call (in milliseconds).

request - the query request.

serverLinks - for links with other servers. These will also be queried.

Returns:

any suitable matches to the request. These are stored inside of an element for each related service, with attributes to describe the service uuid and type.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - any error.
