Sergiu Dumitriu, Using this tip, i had print the className and got this result : System.out.println("search return (" + searchResult.getClass() + ")"); [stdout] search return (class [Ljava.lang.Object;) I was wrong because i was thinking that this was a basic Object but it's an array of Object (not a List)... So proceeding this way i got my array of results (Map []) with confluence "SearchResult" attributes) Here is a sample wich display the first result title (assume that there is one result) : Object searchResult = client.execute("confluence1.search", new Object[] { p_token, p_query, new Integer(p_maxResults) }); // System.out.println("search return (" + searchResult.getClass() + ")"); // searchResult != null Object[] searchResults = (Object[]) searchResult; // searchResult != null && searchResults.length > 0 String firstObjectTitle = (String) ((Map)searchResults[0]).get("title"); System.out.println("firstObjectTitle =" + firstObjectTitle); Relevant (confluence) SearchResult attributes : Key Type Value title String the feed's title url String the remote URL needed to view this search result online excerpt String a short excerpt of this result if it makes sense type String the type of this result - page, comment, spacedesc, attachment, userinfo, blogpost id String the long ID of this result (if the type has one) FYI, here is a test result : [stdout] search return (class [Ljava.lang.Object;) [stdout] firstObjectTitle=Main.WebHome [stdout] firstObjectUrl= [stdout] firstObjectExcerpt= [stdout] firstObjectType=pageid [stdout] firstObjectId=Main.WebHome Thanks :) Regards Brice Vandeputte -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Sergiu Dumitriu Envoyé : jeudi 6 novembre 2008 04:53 À : XWiki Users Objet : Re: [xwiki-users] [XML/RPC] trying execute "confluence1.search"without success VANDEPUTTE Brice ITLABS wrote:

Hi all,

i'm trying to create a Java XML-RPC Client of my Xwiki instance (for now i'm using xwikie1_6m2)

Documentation used : - Xwiki XML/RPC doc : http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC - Confluence API Specification : http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Remote+API+Specification

I success with this methods : confluence1.login, confluence1.logout, confluence1.getPage, confluence1.storePage, confluence1.renderContent

but i got a problem with this one : confluence1.search

Confluence API talk about two ways to use search : 1) Vector search(String token, String query, int maxResults) - return a list of SearchResults which match a given search query (including pages and other content types). This is the same as a performing a parameterised search (see below) with an empty parameter map.

2) Vector search(String token, String query, Map parameters, int maxResults) - (since 1.3) like the previous search, but you can optionally limit your search by adding parameters to the parameter map. If you do not include a parameter, the default is used instead.

The second way (with parameters) is not implemented on Xwiki (cf. http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1559 )

So how must we use the first search method (without Map parameters) ?

I'm trying this : Vector searchResult = (Vector) client.execute("confluence1.search", new Object[] { p_token, p_query,new Integer(p_maxResults) }); This code return a "ClassCastException" : it's like the returned object were not a "Vector".. If then what is it ?

I don't know what it is. In Java, the method returns List<String>. To see what you have there, just use reflection: Object searchResult = client.execute... System.out.println(searchResult.getClass()) // Or whatever logging method you use This will print the exact classname, and from there you can procede further. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
