Using AND combined with OR conditions on filterclause

Question

We are writing a PRC portlet to return all documents based on a properties search.We have two properties (names are arbitrary) lets call them prop1 and prop2.I need to construct the following query
Need all cards where ( (prop1=1 or prop1=2 or prop1=3 or prop1=4) AND (prop2="A" or prop2="B") )Can not use (prop1<5)
I believe that a more precise question is How can I construct a query that is and-ded and or-ded.
the interface IPlumtree.Remote.PRC.Search.ISearchFactory allows two methods to be called 1) CreateOrFilterClause2) CreateAndFilterClause How do I return a search that is ORand AND - Is this even doable? I need sample code for the Document Search described above.. Phil Orion | [email protected] | www.orionsmith.com

Answer 1

You can add a clause as a subclause of another clause. So the steps to build this would be:
1. build an OR clause, add the four prop1 conditions to it
2. build another OR clause, add the two prop2 conditions to it
3. build an AND clause, add the two previous clauses to it by calling addClause()
