FilteredQuery usage

[Ricardo Borillo Domenech]

Hi all!!

I'm using PrefixQuery in my search application and I get TooManyClauses.
I have found many information about this problem and the solutions seems
to be the use of a FilteredQuery.

Now, I'm trying to write my Filter ...
Well, the problem is that when i try to write the "bits" function of my
filter, I need to query all the index checking if the value of field
name "path" is a prefix or not.

There's a way to do that query without having to retrieve all the
Document instances from the index?

public class PrefijoURLFilter extends Filter
{
    private String field;
    private String[] prefix;
    
    public PrefijoURLFilter(String field, String[] prefix)
    {
        this.field = field;
        this.prefix = prefix;
    }
    
    public BitSet bits(IndexReader reader) throws IOException
    {
        BitSet bits = new BitSet(reader.maxDoc());

        //FOR EACH PREFIX AND FOR EACH DOCUMENT IN INDEX CHECK IF 
        //STARTS WITH A VALID PREFIX AND SET IT IN THE BITSET
        
        return bits;
    }
}


A valid usage of this filter could be:

filter = new PrefijoURLFilter("path", new String[] {
        "http://xxx/CA/noticies/agenda/";,
        "http://xxx/noticies/agenda/";,
        "http://xxx/CA/content/agenda/";,
        "http://xxx/content/agenda/";
});

Thanks a lot!!!
