36 | /** | |
37 | * Allows for definition of custom attributes on a document that should be indexed along with that document and made | |
38 | * searchable when performing document searches. Applications who want to index and expose these custom attributes on | |
39 | * their documents can implement this interface and configure their document type to point to the searchable attributes | |
40 | * that it should use. | |
41 | * | |
42 | * <p>A searchable attribute provides the following basic functions:</p> | |
43 | * | |
44 | * <ul> | |
45 | * <li>The ability to generate XML content that can be associated with the document and used for indexing purposes.</li> | |
46 | * <li>The ability to extract attribute values from the document and supply them to the indexer for indexing.</li> | |
47 | * <li>The ability to define how custom search attributes will be presented in the document search user interface.</li> | |
48 | * <li>The ability to define validation for custom search attribute criteria which is executed from the document search user interface.</li> | |
49 | * </ul> | |
50 | * | |
51 | * <p>Searchable attributes are mapped to document types via the KEW extension framework (see | |
52 | * {@link org.kuali.rice.kew.api.extension.ExtensionRepositoryService}). | |
53 | * | |
54 | * <p>Through this extension mechanism, searchable attributes are designed to allow for re-use if desired. To | |
55 | * facilitate this, the name of the document type for which the operation is being performed is included for all such | |
56 | * methods which might make use of it. Additionally, all of the operations on a searchable attribute are passed the | |
57 | * {@link ExtensionDefinition} which was used to define the instance of the searchable attribute and link it to the | |
58 | * document type. The extension definition can be defined to include additional configuration which can be used by the | |
59 | * various methods on the searchable attribute implementation. This allows for creating a single | |
60 | * {@code SearchableAttribute} implementation which can then be parameterized externally by reusing the implementation | |
61 | * in the extension repository, but parameterizing it via one ore more extension definitions.</p> | |
62 | * | |
63 | * <p>This interface is annotated to allow for it to be exposed as a JAXWS web service, so client applications | |
64 | * wanting to publish their own searchable attribute implementations may do so by publishing their search attribute | |
65 | * implementations on the bus. However, this is optional as it is possible to declare an extension definition for a searchable | |
66 | * attribute which uses the class name instead of a service name. In these cases, searchable attribute implementations | |
67 | * will be located and invoked via an application's | |
68 | * {@link org.kuali.rice.kew.framework.document.search.DocumentSearchCustomizationHandlerService} endpoint assuming that | |
69 | * the proper application id is associated with the extension definition.</p> | |
