How can I display Search result directly after login

Learner

Hi,

We have the following requirement in webtop 5.3 SP5.

Following url will be invoked from another application.

http://localhost:8080/webtop/component/app_attribute_search_only?attribute1=12345

After the url is invoked it brings up the login screen and the user logs in and then the search results are displayed. The object type is fixed.

In webtop we need to extract the attribute1 value and perform the search and display the search.

What is the best way of achieving it?

Thanks

I am able to read the attribute value from the URL and been able to get to the my search class after login but I keep getting a null pointer at getResultsDescription() of SearchEx. I am not sure if the query is getting built at all as when I am not sure how to set the attribute name and attribute value in the buildQuery. When I try to see how advance search functions it takes the following args:

args: {processStartupAction=true,query=3,queryType=queryId,drilldown=true,showwait=true}

and when I try to print the getSearchInfo().getQueryDescription() it prints the value of the attribute ie 12345. I am unable to figure out how the attribute I choose gets associated with the getQueryDescription

I tried to do the following in my custom class that extends SearchEx

public void buildQuery(ArgumentList args)
{

   session = getSessionManager().getSession(strDocbase);
    IDfSearchService searchService = getSearchInfo().getSearchService();
    IDfQueryManager IDfQueryManager = searchService.newQueryMgr();
    IDfQueryBuilder iDfQueryBuilder = IDfQueryManager.newQueryBuilder(strObjectType);
    DfSearchMetadataManager metadataManager = new DfSearchMetadataManager(session.getSessionManager(),
        new DfSearchSourceMap(),
        "defaultmetadatadocbase");
    IDfExpressionSet rootExpressionSet = iDfQueryBuilder .getRootExpressionSet();
    setAnd = rootExpressionSet.addExpressionSet(IDfExpressionSet.LOGICAL_OP_AND);
    newSet = setAnd.addSimpleAttrExpression(attributeName, attributeDataType, searchOperator, true, false, attributeSearchValue);
    IDfSmartListDefinition idfSmartListDefinition = IDfQueryManager.newSmartListDefinition();
    idfSmartListDefinition.setQueryDefinition(iDfQueryBuilder );

     super.buildQuery(args);

}

Don't know if it is the correct way of doing it. If anyone one has better ideas please give me some direction on this. Thanks for looking
