public class ISeriesSearchAction
extends QSYSSystemBaseDialogAction

This is the action that will put up a dialog for users to specify a string to be used for searching the selected object which can be filter library, file or member. It then calls another class to do the actual searching. For libraries, they are resolved to files first and for filters, they are resolved to lib/file/mbr.

Method Detail

createDialog

public Dialog createDialog(Shell shell)

This method builds two lists from the selected items: - one contains either valid lib/file/mbr data elements or filter strings obtained from filters. This list is for doing searching - one contains the target list to be displayed in the search dialog

getDialogValue

protected Object getDialogValue(Dialog dlg)

We use the default inherited actionPerformed method, which calls this method after the dialog is closed in order to retrieve the dialog's data. This is then placed in this object's value property and can be retrieved publicly via getValue().

We overload this to also actually run the command remotely.

addElementToTargetList

protected void addElementToTargetList(IQSYSResource element,
                                      boolean searchByMember)

Add the element to the target list

Parameters:

element - - must be a file or member

searchByMember - - true if the element is member. We already know the answer before the call

addElementsFromFilterStrToTargetList

protected boolean addElementsFromFilterStrToTargetList(String[] filterStrings,
                                                       IBMiConnection iseriesConn)

Resolve the filter strings to data elements. If they libraries, they are further resolved to members or files. These data element are added to the lib/file/mbr array by calling the addElementToTargetList method

Parameters:

filter - string array obtained from filters.

Returns:

continue or not true means continue
