Re: [platform-ua-dev] Trying to use Search Participants

[Dejan Glozic <dejan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, 'addDocument' is called in both cases. The way you configured the
search participant though, it will be treated as 'global' i.e. as if it is
adding new documents previously unknown to the help system. For this to
work, it must return these new documents in the 'getAllDocuments()' method.
After that, 'addDocument' will be called to index each document not already
in the index.

What probably confused you was that CheatsheetSearchParticipant extends
XMLSearchParticipant and 'addDocument' is implemented there.

Hi Goss,

Are the documents you're attempting to index supposed to be part of the
table of contents (like html or xhtml docs), or are they separate from the
help system (like cheatsheets)?

If yes, you should make sure they are indeed showing up, and you must also
specify what file types you can index in the extension (see
XHTMLSearchParticipant extension for an example). In this case the system
will go through the TOC and if it finds a file of the type you listed, it
will call addDocument for it. If you don't specify any times, it won't call
you.

If no, the addDocument method isn't supposed to be called. In this mode,
the system doesn't know about your documents so it can't pass them to you
for indexing. Instead, you must pass them to the system via the
getAllDocuments method.

Have a look at the schema for the extension point you're using, and in the
LuceneSearchParticipant class javadocs for more info.

Hi,

I'm attempting to use a LuceneSearchParticipant to index some dynamic
e-learning content. I'm using the following extension:

<extension
point="org.eclipse.help.base.luceneSearchParticipants">
<searchParticipant
id="com.ibm.extremeblue.elearning.external.ScormSearchParticipant"
participant="com.ibm.extremeblue.elearning.external.ScormSearchParticipant"
/>
</extension>


However, the class extending LuceneSearchParticipant,
com.ibm.extremeblue.elearning.external.ScormSearchParticipant, never has
its addDocument method invoked. Is there an additional step I'm missing?

Thanks,
Goss_______________________________________________
