About the Ultra Search Sample Query Applications

Oracle Ultra Search provides a flexible, easy-to-integrate query framework as a query API. The API methods retrieve and display query results. The API is written in Java. Therefore, it is compatible with a large spectrum of Web application servers that support any Java-based technology, such as Java server pages (JSP version 1.0 and higher).

You embed Ultra Search query functionality in your Web application with the supplied Ultra Search Java query API. The API supports two methods:

Methods that retrieve query result data only.

Methods that retrieve HTML code containing query result data.

The methods that retrieve HTML code support features such as allowing you to embed query input boxes and result lists in your Web application. The data-only methods do not return any HTML and can be used when you require full control over the HTML code to be rendered.

Some features of the Ultra Search Java query API:

Lets you to retrieve query results

Lets you to set query properties, such as the total number of hits to return, and so on.

Lets you to set the query session language

Lets you to access Ultra Search tables to retrieve Ultra Search dictionary data, such as all defined data groups and attributes

Lets you customize and generate your query interface and search result screen with procedures that return blocks of HTML code that you can embed into your Web application.

Lets you allow the search end user to submit URLs to the seed URL list

The Ultra Search Java query API is encapsulated in the oracle.ultrasearch.query package.
