Developing a custom search functionality via plugin. Followed the sample 'Custom repository search service' from the redbook. Unable to set the custom properties of the document unless the list item is selected from the results. Only the default properties are being set after the search is complete. Any advise would greatly help.

Hi,

I think the custom properties are not returned from your query. You need to include the custom properties in your query. And in your plugin code, you also need to add these properties to JSONResultSetRow.

The custom property can be set when you selected from the results because that's the content list's feature. It will trigger a new request to get all the properties from server.

Thanks,

Hi Jason,

That seem to work, but I'm having difficulty figuring out the data type of the property. The below line is throwing an error as it is not able to convert different types (like datetime, etc) to string

Iterator<?> pit = doc.getProperties().iterator();

while(pit.hasNext()) {

Property pr = (Property) it.next();

row.addAttribute(pr.getPropertyName(), pr.getObjectValue().toString(), "xs:string", null,pr.getObjectValue().toString());

}

Hi,

When I am checking the API, I found the second parameter should be an object value:

void com.ibm.ecm.json.JSONResultSetRow.addAttribute(String id, Object value, String type, Stringformat, String displayValue)

Maybe this is the fail reason?

Thanks,
