Beta 1 query plans

This page lists summary task and progress notes for the beta 1 release of the MKSearch query component. This is an archive page.

More ResultsRenderer types

There are currently two result renderer types, which are very basic; a TextResultsRenderer and XhtmlResultsRenderer. At least one further type, RssResultsRenderer is required to generate an RSS feed for a standing query.

One issue for the RSS feed is the need to include the query URI itself in the output, which will require a more sophisticated renderer interface.

Task progress: Refactored the original ResultRenderer types into a more generic form that are insulated from the specifics of the Sesame API.

  • Completed text, XHTML and RSS result renderers.
Results paging

The results renderer interface originally had no method for paging the results of a query nor controlling the number of results per page.

  • Completed result paging for XhtmlResultRenderer
Query test documents

The query features need simple test case documents to verify query interpretation and retreival.

Task progress:

  • Prepared a set of "cat and dog" test documents and verified query processing.
Dynamic query form

The main search interface will initially present a simple subject query field and search button. To enable users to search on any relevant predicate, additional search fields will be called-up through a query builder form.

Task progress

  • Completed JSP QueryBuilderTag and tested manually.
  • Completed JSP QueryResultTag and tested manually.
  • Completed basic JSP result pages for Text, RSS and XHTML format results.
