Fulltext Search by Property

Fulltext Search by Property

Find all nodes containing a mixin type 'mix:title' and whose 'jcr:description' contains "forest" string.

Repository Structure

The repository is filled with nodes of the mixin type 'mix:title' and different values of the 'jcr:description' property.

  • root
    • document1 (mix:title) jcr:description = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
    • document2 (mix:title) jcr:description = "The brown fox lives in a forest." // This is the node we want to find
    • document3 (mix:title) jcr:description = "The fox is a nice animal."
    • document4 (nt:unstructured) jcr:description = "There is the word forest, too."

Query Execution

SQL

// make SQL query
QueryManager queryManager = workspace.getQueryManager();
// we want find document which contains "forest" word
String sqlStatement = "SELECT \* FROM mix:title WHERE CONTAINS(jcr:description, 'forest')";
// create query
Query query = queryManager.createQuery(sqlStatement, Query.SQL);
// execute query and fetch result
QueryResult result = query.execute();

XPath

// make SQL query
QueryManager queryManager = workspace.getQueryManager();
// we want find document which contains "forest" word
String xpathStatement = "//element(*,mix:title)[jcr:contains(@jcr:description, 'forest')]";
// create query
Query query = queryManager.createQuery(xpathStatement, Query.XPATH);
// execute query and fetch result
QueryResult result = query.execute();

Fetching the Result

Let's get nodes:

NodeIterator it = result.getNodes();

if(it.hasNext())
{
   Node findedNode = it.nextNode();
}

NodeIterator will return "document2".

We can also get a table:

String[] columnNames = result.getColumnNames();
RowIterator rit = result.getRows();
while (rit.hasNext())
{
   Row row = rit.nextRow();
   // get values of the row
   Value[] values = row.getValues();
}

Table content is:

jcr:description...jcr:path
The brown fox lives in forest..../document2
