Class Summary

Class	Description
Order	A simple bean which defines the order to return the results of a search Example usage: Order ota = new Order("title"); // order by title ascending Order otd = new Order("title", false); // order by title descending
Restriction	A simple bean which defines a restriction in a search, this is like saying: where userId = '123'; OR where userId like '%aaronz%'; Example usage: Restriction rteq = new Restriction("title", curTitle); // restrict search to title equals value of curTitle Restriction rtne = new Restriction("title", curTitle, Restriction.NOT_EQUALS); // restrict search to title not equals value of curTitle
Search	This is a simple class which allows the passing of a set of search parameters in a nice way Example usage: Search s1 = new Search("title", curTitle); // search where title equals value of curTitle Search s2 = new Search("title", curTitle, Restriction.NOT_EQUALS); // search where title not equals value of curTitle Search s2 = new Search( new Restriction("title", curTitle), new Order("title") ); // search where title equals value of curTitle and order is by title ascending Most searches can be modeled this way fairly easily.
