Hi Solr-knowledgeable folks,
The LCF Solr SearchComponent plugin I'm developing doesn't quite work. The
query I'm trying to do is:
-(allow_token_document:*) and -(deny_token_document:*) and <the user's search>
The result I'm seeing is that everything in the user's search matches, unlike
what I see in the admin UI, where the above query works perfectly.
The code I'm using to do the negative wildcard searches is as follows:
public void prepare(ResponseBuilder rb) throws IOException
{
BooleanFilter bf = new BooleanFilter();
// No authenticated user name; only return 'public' documents (those with
no security tokens at all)
// That query is:
// (fieldAllowShare is empty AND fieldDenyShare is empty AND
fieldAllowDocument is empty AND fieldDenyDocument is empty)
// We're trying to map to: -(fieldAllowShare:*) , which should be pretty
efficient in Solr because it is negated. If this turns out not to be so, then
we should
// have the SolrConnector inject a special token into these fields when
they otherwise would be empty, and we can trivially match on that token.
bf.add(new FilterClause(new WildcardFilter(new
Term(fieldAllowDocument,"*")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT));
bf.add(new FilterClause(new WildcardFilter(new
Term(fieldDenyDocument,"*")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT));
// Concatenate with the user's original query.
FilteredQuery query = new FilteredQuery(rb.getQuery(),bf);
rb.setQuery(query);
}
Any hints welcome!
Karl
