[lyo-dev] Query on Folder

[Robert Kerr <rakerr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm working on implementing a substring search capability for OSLC and 
DOORS, using .NET.  The OSLC specification doesn't provide for this type 
of search, so I'm having to do it myself.

First Issue:  From what I'm understanding, OSLC doesn't have the 
capability to search a Folder (designated by a -F- in the Service 
Provider URL).  Because of that, if I want to allow someone to search a 
folder, I have to go into that folder and get all the Modules and 
perform the search on those instead (with the concomitant need to 
recurse into any child folder inside that Module).
Am I right in my assumptions?  If not, how do I search a Folder?

Second Issue: If the above is true, then in order to do a search over 
the entire DOORS database, I have to retrieve ALL the Modules, retrieve 
all children from each Module, and then search that humongous list to 
see if my substring is present.  Retrieving ALL the requirements through 
OSLC is abominably slow, so naturally I'm wondering:  Is there a better 
way to do a global search?


Thanks

Never argue with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and
then beat you with experience.
