MDME Java API - Page Problem

Question

Hi,
I am using MDME Java API. I want to know how the multiple records running into several pages is handled. I know that there is a method SetSize() in ResultSetDefinition class and I also know that the method GetResultSet() uses the page(probably page number) as an argument. But, I am not sure how to use this feature for practical purposes.
Can anybody help me??
Thanks in Advance,
Rajani

Hi Rajani,
  The paging feature comes in handy if you have a very large dataset you need to iterate through. Using the page number and SetSize() method allows you to efficiently loop through the resultset. Here's some sample code:
// loop through the resultset, retrieving a page a time until all records have been processed
          while (isDone == false) {
               A2iResultSet rs = catalog.GetResultSet(search, rsd, sortField, sortAscending, page);
               // process the records
               processProdRecords(rs);
               // increment counter
               page++;
               // are there more records?
               if ((page * pageSize) >= search.GetNumSearchTableResults())
                    isDone = true;
