net.ontopia.topicmaps.query.spi.RDBMSSearcher
All Implemented Interfaces:
SearcherIF

public class RDBMSSearcher extends AbstractSearcher
EXPERIMENTAL: RDBMS searcher implementation that executes a SQL query in the same database as the topic map is stored in. The query must return two columns, the first the object id of the result topic map object (a string), the second the score (a float).

The name of the predicate is used as the key to look up the query itself. The queries are read from a properties file called RDBMSSearcher.props from the CLASSPATH.

The sql query can be specified directly via the 'sql' URI parameter on the searcher class. Just make sure that the query is URI encoded. The query file name can be overriden with the 'queryFile' parameter.
