Advanced search

jordiv — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 10:39:46 GMT

Hi,Anyone knows if there is an easy way to create an advanced search for a Web Quick Start website?I would like to have a search form where I could search documents using custom metadata fields.I suppose that this should be done using a webscript, but I don't know how to launch a search query in the

I've been searching and I couldn't find a way to do it.
I'm using Alfresco 3.4.d.

If it helps someone, it seems that you can't perform a search to the Alfresco respository directly in a Share webscript. So I've tried creating a Webscript in the Alfresco repository that returns a JSON object, and then I've called it from the WQS webscript by doing:


var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
var data = connector.call("/url/to/webscript");
‍‍‍‍

But it seems that no data is returned. If I access the Alfresco webscript directly using a browser I get the JSON response.

Don't know if this is the right way.

I'm not certain where Share comes into this. If you haven't already done so then I suggest taking a look at the AssetFactoryWebscriptImpl class in the Web Quick Start API and the corresponding webscript from the WQS module which is a java-backed webscript of class AssetSearch. Hopefully this will give you some ideas of how to implement your advanced search functionality.

Thank you for your reply bremmington. I'm not familiar with Alfresco development and I get lost easily.
So I should do it using a Java Backed webscript instead of normal webscripts using Javascript?

I've taken a look at these classes, but I don't know how to use them from my webscript.
You know where I can find the Web Quick Start API JAR file to import into my Java project? I can't find it in the Alfresco 3.4.d SDK
I should build it from source?

Thanks a lot.

Edit: I've managed to build the WQS API from source as described in the wiki page. It can also be found at the <alfresco.base>/tomcat/webapps/wcmqs/WEB-INF/lib/ directory.

Now I'm trying to create the Java backed webscript and use it in my WQS site.

You don't have to use a java-backed webscript. The search service is exposed through the Javascript API if you would prefer to try that approach. Personally, I think that what you want to achieve would be easier using Java, but I guess that depends on what you're comfortable with.

Once you have deployed the sample WQS webapp (wcmqs.jar), you can find the WQS API JAR in the folder "wcmqs/WEB-INF/lib" in your web container's webapps folder ($TOMCAT_HOME/webapps, for instance). It's named "alfresco-wcmqs-clientapi-3.4.X.jar" (with the X replaced with the build number/letter)

I have tried using the search service using the Javascript API and I get an error saying that "search" is not defined

The Javascript code that I tried is:


var nodes = search.luceneSearch("TEXT:alfresco");
var results = search.query({query: "TEXT:alfresco"});

Re: Advanced search

bremmington — Tue, 10 May 2011 09:19:26 GMT

That looks like you are trying to use it in your WQS webapp. That's in the wrong tier - you want to be in the repo tier to carry out the search. Again, referring to the way the search functionality works, the AssetFactoryWebscriptImpl class lives in the web tier (the WQS webapp) and invokes a webscript (AssetSearch) that is hosted in the repo tier. That webscript processes the input parameters received from the web tier, calls the search service with the appropriate parameters, and returns the results to the web tier.

You will need a similar mechanism, but you will want to pass more parameters into your repo-tier webscript to support the advanced search capabilities that you want.

Re: Advanced search

jordiv — Tue, 10 May 2011 10:07:56 GMT

Thanks for the explanation. You are right, I was using it in the WQS webapp.
So I should have a webscript in "Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Scripts" that performs the search, and then a webscript placed in "<alfresco_base>/tomcat/webapps/wcmqs/WEB-INF/webscripts/" that calls the previous one?

I tried that once but It didn't worked. If this is the right way I'll try again.

Re: Advanced search

bremmington — Tue, 10 May 2011 10:16:27 GMT

I'm not sure I would choose to use a webscript on the web tier in this case (I'm not sure what would cause it to run unless you map it as a component into a template region), but it may do what you want.

Re: Advanced search

jordiv — Tue, 10 May 2011 11:18:31 GMT

Thanks for your time bremmington, I appreciate it a lot.

What else could I use? I've seen the AssetFactoryWebscriptImpl class but I'm not sure of how I could make something similar and use it in my wqs site.

I tried to do it using webscripts but I haven't managed to make it work.
By now I have done the following:

I created a new folder inside the "root" folder in the WQS site named "csearch".
I've edited the "Template Mapping" of the folder and set it to: ws:article=csearchpage
I've created a new file inside that folder named "csearch.html".

I've created a new XML file inside "<alfresco_base>/tomcat/webapps/wcmqs/WEB-INF/pages/" named "csearch.xml" with the following content:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
   <id>csearchpage</id>
   <description>page with 1 main configurable block</description>
   <template-instance>one-block</template-instance>
   <authentication>none</authentication>
   <components>
      <component>
         <region-id>main1</region-id>
         <url>/advsearch/csearch</url>
      </component>
   </components>
</page>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I've created a new webscript inside "<alfresco_base>/tomcat/webapps/wcmqs/WEB-INF/webscripts/advsearch/":
csearch.get.desc.xml:


<webscript>
  <shortname>Csearch</shortname>
  <description>Custom Search</description>
  <url>/advsearch/csearch</url>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

csearch.get.js:


if (url.args['phrase'] != null) {
  var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
  var data = connector.call("/mysearch/advsearch?q=" + url.args['phrase']);
  model.response = data;
  model.phrase = url.args['phrase'];
}
else {
  model.phrase = null;
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

csearch.get.html.ftl:


<p>Custom Search</p>


<form action="${url.context}/csearch/csearch.html" method="get">
    <fieldset>
        <input type="hidden" value="${webSite.rootSection.id}" name="sectionId" />
        <input type="text" value="${phrase!''}" name="phrase" id="search-phrase" maxlengt
h="100"/>
        <input type="submit" value="Search" />
    </fieldset>
</form>
<p>Response: ${response!'no response'}</p>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then I have created the webscript "advsearch" in Alfresco in the "Company Home > Data Dictionary > Web Scripts > org > alfresco > sample".
advsearch.desc.xml:


<webscript>
  <shortname>Advanced Search</shortname>
  <description>Cerca avancada</description>
   <url>/mysearch/advsearch?q={searchTerm}</url>
   <format default="json">extension</format>
   <authentication>guest</authentication>
   <transaction>required</transaction>
</webscript>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

advsearch.get.json.ftl:


{

"results" : [
<#list nodes as child>
{
    "name" : "${child.properties.name}" ,
  
    "creator" : "${child.properties.creator}",

   "CreatedDate" : "${child.properties.created?datetime}"
}
<#if child_has_next> , </#if>

</#list>
]
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

advsearch.get.js:


nodes = search.luceneSearch("TEXT:"+args['q']+"*");
var start = 0;
var limit = 100;

pagedResults = new Array();
for (i=0; i < nodes.length && i < limit; i++ ) {
   var node = nodes[(+start + i)];
   if (node != undefined) {
      pagedResults.push(node);
   }
}

model.nodes = pagedResults;
model.total = nodes.length;
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then I go to http://<server>:<port>/wcmqs/csearch/csearch.html
And I have the page with my webscript form, but it seems that I get no data from the repo webscript.

If this is a valid approach I will keep trying. I don't know if the way of calling the repo webscript is correct, or the way the JSON data is returned, or something else

Re: Advanced search

bremmington — Tue, 10 May 2011 13:29:47 GMT

Do you get anything back if you point your browser directly at your advsearch webscript?

Re: Advanced search

jordiv — Tue, 10 May 2011 15:41:13 GMT

Testing the advsearch webscript I realised that was returning a 401 error.

I've solved it by calling the webscript with the guest=true parameter:


var data = connector.get("/mysearch/advsearch?guest=true&q=" + url.args['phrase']);
‍‍‍

I can get the response to my WQS webscript! Thanks a lot bremmington

Now I'll try to build the lucene query with my custom metadata. When I finish I'll post it here.

Re: Advanced search

jordiv — Thu, 19 May 2011 08:37:00 GMT

Done
Just an update about this.

I had some more problems because I needed to call the repository webscript being authenticated.
To do it I used an alf_ticket. So the call to my repository webscript from the WQS webscript is:


var connector = remote.connect("alfresco");
  // Get an XML ticket to authenticate
  var raw_ticket = connector.get("/api/login?u=USER_NAME&pw=USER_PASSWORD");
  raw_ticket = raw_ticket.toString();
  var string_from = raw_ticket.indexOf("<ticket>");
  var string_to = raw_ticket.indexOf("</ticket>");
  // Get only the content inside <ticket> tag
  var ticket = raw_ticket.substring(string_from + 8, string_to);
  // URL to the advsearch webscript
  var s_url = "/mysearch/advsearch.html?alf_ticket=" + ticket + "&guest=false";

  // Append the parameters…
  if(var1 != null) s_url += "&var1=" + encodeURI(var1);
  // …

  // Call the webscript
  var data = connector.get(s_url);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And to query by custom metadata, I did it like this in the lucene query:


+@myaspect\\:myMetadata:(' + var1 + ')
‍‍‍

I made a small tutorial with all the steps I followed.

Cheers,
Jordi.
