Custom Web Applicaiton for Worksite MP 4.1

How do we develop a custom web application using the worksite Mp 4.1 API? We basically wanted to develop a web application using JSP/ Serlets Etc that will search for documents based on the specified index properties search criteria. We have done a lot of work using your COM API. But we have struggled to get the **** API working. So if anyone can please let me know what would be a good route to follow that would be reall appreciated.

Are the documents you want to search all in WSMP?
If they are, is there a reason why you cannot use the in-UI search form customisation provided by SP1?

Yes all the documents are in worksite MP. I am interested in developing an integration as follows: " From an external system user passes some extended properties. Lets say Invoice # = 12345. These index properties lets say are passed as query string values to a URL or command line parameters or something eqivalent. Once user passes this information I would like to execute an automatic search in worksite MP which would retreive all the documents in worksite MP with the said invoice number. So the idea is User will pass some information from an external system and then we would like to execute an automatic search based on the passed information to retreive the appropriate information.

I think there are several way to do it. The first way to came in my mind is to write proxy.jsp program that you can call from external system and that will handle your search issue.

From code point of view it may looks like this:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In your java program will make request and process response
...

String proxyInvoiceURL = "...proxy.jsp?InvoiceNumber=1234"
URL url = new URL(proxyInvoiceURL);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.connect();
int code = conn.getResponseCode();
logger.info("getResponseCode()="+code);
String InvoiceValue = conn.getHeaderField("InvoiceValue");
logger.debug("InvoiceValue:"+InvoiceValue);
...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In proxy.jsp process will process request and make response

<%
String InvoiceNumber = request.getParameter("InvoiceNumber")
...
CommonSearch commonSearch = library.createCommonSearch();
...

String InvoiceValue = ...;

res.addHeader("InvoiceValue",InvoiceValue);
%>

yes, in WOM Developers Guide PDF there is example of document metadata search on pages 118-121. The result set includes IDs for each document matching. Your Invoice Number would replace EXT::KEYWORDS in the example by e.g. EXT::INVOICE_NUM

Then there is the WOM help under com.imanage.cms.api.workteam:

Class WorkspaceSearchArgument

java.lang.Object
extended bycom.imanage.cms.api.workteam.SearchArgument
extended bycom.imanage.cms.api.workteam.WorkspaceSearchArgument

Then you are left to program action on the returned doc ID.
