Search Document by category and by folder restriction

Question

HI !
I have a problem :
I'm using Search Java API to find "All Documents which have a category and I would like to restrict the search to a subfolder"
So , I found in Javadoc and in IFS Developer reference some piece of code but that doesn't return hits :
AttributeSearchSpecification asp = new AttributeSearchSpecification();
     String [] classNames = new String[] {"Category"};
     SearchClassSpecification scp = new SearchClassSpecification(classNames);
     scp.addResultClass("Category");     
     asp.setSearchClassSpecification(scp);
FolderRestrictQualification frq1 = new FolderRestrictQualification();
Folder startFolder = ifsSession.getPrimaryUserProfile().getHomeFolder();
     frq1.setStartFolder(startFolder);
frq1.setMultiLevel(true);
     asp.setSearchQualification(frq1);     
     recherche = new Search(ifsSession,asp);
Could you help me please ?
Thank you.

HI !

     SearchClassSpecification scp = new SearchClassSpecification(classNames);

FolderRestrictQualification frq1 = new FolderRestrictQualification();
Folder startFolder = ifsSession.getPrimaryUserProfile().getHomeFolder();
     frq1.setStartFolder(startFolder);
frq1.setMultiLevel(true);
     asp.setSearchQualification(frq1);     
     recherche = new Search(ifsSession,asp);You'll have to join the document with its category, and add this JoinQualification to the searchqualification..
example:
JoinQualification jq=new JoinQualification();
jq.setLeftAttribute(Document.CLASS_NAME,null);
jq.setRightAttribute(YOUR_CATEGORY_CLASS_NAME,Category.ASSOCIATED_PUBLICOBJECT);
//joining Document.id with its category
then AND-ing JoinQualification with FolderResrictQualification via SearchQualification
last step, inserting the SearchQualification into the AttributeSearchSpecification,
and dont forget to include Document and your_category_class_name in the SearchClassSpecification,
because you seems to forget it?
and ofcourse the resultclass is the Document, not the Category, since you're trying to get document, right?
Hope it helps
