public class ConditionParser
extends java.lang.Object

The parsing utilities to parse the conditions from query into Baisc search ics variables or flex search conditon - SearchState

Method Summary

static java.util.List<java.lang.String>	parseBasicCondition(ICS ics, java.lang.Long site, AssetTypeDef atd, Condition c, java.lang.String prefix, FTValList attributes) This method is used to convert a condition to an asset search format.
static ISearchState	parseFlexCondition(ICS ics, AssetTypeDef atd, java.lang.String attributeType, Condition c) Parse a Condition and convert the passed in Condition to an ISearchState that could be used to search for flex assets
static java.lang.String	validAttributes(ICS ics, AssetTypeDef atd, java.util.List<java.lang.String> attributes) validate whether any of the attribute specified in the list does not belong to the specified assettype/subtype

Method Detail

parseFlexCondition

public static ISearchState parseFlexCondition(ICS ics,
                                              AssetTypeDef atd,
                                              java.lang.String attributeType,
                                              Condition c)
                                       throws AssetAccessException

Parse a Condition and convert the passed in Condition to an ISearchState that could be used to search for flex assets

Parameters:

ics - the ICS object

atd - the asset type definition object

attributeType - The flex asset attribute type

c - The condition to parse

Returns:

ISearchState The searchstate equivilant of the Condtion

Throws:

AssetAccessException - throws this exception if error met parsing the Condition

parseBasicCondition

public static java.util.List<java.lang.String> parseBasicCondition(ICS ics,
                                                                   java.lang.Long site,
                                                                   AssetTypeDef atd,
                                                                   Condition c,
                                                                   java.lang.String prefix,
                                                                   FTValList attributes)
                                                            throws AssetAccessException

This method is used to convert a condition to an asset search format. In particular, asset search has the following restriction 1. for same attribute, the only operation allowed is OR 2. for different attribute, the only operation allowed is AND

Parameters:

ics - the ICS object

site - the Content Server site id of the query

atd - the asset type definition

c - the Query Condition that needs to be parsed

prefix - the prefix that we want to use for converting

attributes - the list of attributes that we converted; this will be used to pass into search method

Returns:

the list of ics variables that we created so that we could clean them up from ICS later

Throws:

AssetAccessException - throws this exception if errors occur in parsing

validAttributes

public static java.lang.String validAttributes(ICS ics,
                                               AssetTypeDef atd,
                                               java.util.List<java.lang.String> attributes)

validate whether any of the attribute specified in the list does not belong to the specified assettype/subtype

Parameters:

ics - the ICS object

atd - the asset type definition object

attributes - list of string names to validate

Returns:

true if all are valid attributes, false if any is not
