createSearchExpressionContext

public static SearchExpressionContext createSearchExpressionContext(FacesContext context,
 UIComponent source)

Creates a SearchExpressionContext instance for use with the SearchExpressionHandler. This method can be used to obtain a SearchExpressionContext instance without any VisitHint or SearchExpressionHint.

context - the FacesContext for the current request

source - the source / base component from which we will start to perform our search.

Returns:

a SearchExpressionContext instance

createSearchExpressionContext

public static SearchExpressionContext createSearchExpressionContext(FacesContext context,
 UIComponent source,
 Set<SearchExpressionHint> expressionHints,
 Set<VisitHint> visitHints)

Creates a SearchExpressionContext instance for use with the SearchExpressionHandler.

Parameters:

context - the FacesContext for the current request

source - the source / base component from which we will start to perform our search.

expressionHints - the SearchExpressionHint to apply to the search. If null, no hints are applied.

visitHints - the VisitHints to apply to the visit, if used by a SearchKeywordResolver. If null, no hints are applied.

Returns:

a SearchExpressionContext instance
