Ways to set the Query Mode programatically

The following snippet will be helpful in setting up the mode of the query criteria in programmatic way.

public Boolean setAdvancedMode(){
              QueryDescriptor descriptor =
                      (QueryDescriptor)evaluateEL
                  ("#{bindings.SearchCriteriaQuery.queryDescriptor}");
              descriptor.changeMode(QueryDescriptor.QueryMode.ADVANCED);
             return true;
}

public Object evaluateEL(String el) {
        FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
        ExpressionFactory expressionFactory =
            facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
        ValueExpression exp =
            expressionFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, el,
                                                    Object.class);
       return exp.getValue(elContext);
    }

Getting the value of Saved search in programatic way

This code can be added to the setter of the component from where you want to access the saved search of the af:query panel

QueryModel qm = (QueryModel)evaluateEL("#{bindings.<searchRegionFromThePageDef>.queryModel}");
for(int indexCount=0; indexCount<qm.getUserQueries().size();indexCount++)
{
 QueryDescriptor qd = qm.getUserQueries().get(indexCount);
 if(qd!=null){
 String queryDescriptorName = qd.getName();
 System.out.println(queryDesctiptorName);
 m = qd.getUIHints();
 isDefault = (Boolean) m.get(QueryDescriptor.UIHINT_DEFAULT);
 isRunAutomatically = (Boolean) m.get(QueryDescriptor.UIHINT_AUTO_EXECUTE);

 if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(isDefault) && Boolean.TRUE.equals(isRunAutomatically){
 //code goes here
 }
 else{
 //else code
 }
 }
}

quick walk through..

  • Getting the handle to QueryModel
  • Iterating through the userQueries. ie. the Saved Searches
  • Get handle to the QueryDescriptor
  • get handle to UIHints from the QueryDescriptor
  • check for QueryDescriptor.UIHINT_DEFAULT and QueryDescriptor.UIHINT_AUTO_EXECUTE and implement the logic based on the value obtained.
