Invoking the Search

After adding the necessary predicates and orders to the search object, the search can be executed by invoking the result() method on the search object. It returns a list of all RegistryBean objects in the registry that applied the predicate conditions in the specified order. The result is lazy loading compatible.

List searchTypes = new ArrayList();
searchTypes.add(ReviewRequestOutcome.class);
searchTypes.add(ServiceInterfaceVersion.class);

Search search = beanPool.createSearch(searchTypes);

Predicate predicate1 = Predicates.eq("ExternalLink.URI",
"http://www.softwareag.com");
Predicate predicate2 = Predicates.eq("name","somePropertyname2");
Predicate orPredicate = Predicates.or(predicate1, predicate2);

Search.addPredicate(orPredicate);

search.addOrder("name");

List<RegistryBean> result = (List<RegistryBean>) search.result();

This means that all ReviewRequestOutcomes and ServiceInterfaceVersions are searched and the ones that have name equal to “somePropertyname2” or ExternalLink with URI equal to “http://www.softwareag.com” is returned in the resulting List of RegistryBean objects ordered by name.
