SES Filter - Adding Multiple Filters with same custom attribute

Question

Hi,
I have added custom search attributes and am able to add a filter to the doOracleSearch method.
filter[0] = new Filter(new Integer(100), "NUMBER", "equals", 10020);
Now I have to add another filter for same search attribute with or condition, how can I do that..
I tried following..
filter[0] = new Filter(new Integer(100), "NUMBER", "equals",10020);
filter[1] = new Filter(new Integer(100), "NUMBER", "equals", 10049);
But how do I specify it is or and the above code is not working.
Thank you.
Vasu.

Here is an example of this using 11g. Note you will need to login programatically if data is secured.
// Create search service and set SOAP URL
OracleSearchService searchService = new OracleSearchService();
searchService.setSoapURL("http://myserver:7777/search/query/OracleSearch");
// Get data group to search
DataGroup dataGroup = new DataGroup();
dataGroup.setGroupName("MyGroup");
DataGroup[] dataGroups = new DataGroup[1];
dataGroups[0] = dataGroup;
// Get list of all attributes to fetch
Attribute[] attributesAll = searchService.getAllAttributes("en");
ArrayList<Integer> attributeIds = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for(Attribute a: attributesAll)
     attributeIds.add(a.getId());
Integer attributeIdArrayAll[] = new Integer[attributeIds.size()];
attributeIdArrayAll = attributeIds.toArray(attributeIdArrayAll);
// Create filters (BE SURE THE FILTER ID IS CORRECT - I do not suggest you hard-code it but rather iterate through list of all attributes above and get ID that way)
Filter[] myFilters = new Filter[2];
myFilters[0] = new Filter(124, "Number", "EQUALS", "129224");
myFilters[1] = new Filter(124, "Number", "EQUALS", "123730");
// Query (BE SURE TO USE "or" as the operator between filters)
OracleSearchResult result = searchService.doOracleSearch("", 0, 50, false, false, dataGroups, "en", null, true, "or", myFilters, attributeIdArrayAll);
// Get count
int hits = result.getEstimatedHitCount().intValue();
// Print results
ResultElement[] resElements = result.getResultElements();
for(int i = 0; i < resElements.length; i++)
// Get document
ResultElement doc = resElements;
Hope this helps!
