You can search for documents and other objects in the WSRR Eclipse UI by using
a combination of different types of criteria.
Before you begin
Before you can search for objects, you must have completed
the following task:
About this task
When searching for objects in WSRR, you can specify search
criteria such as namespace, name, and version. You can also narrow
the search to certain types of object, and specify the scope of the
search (that is, whether to display properties, relationships, and
classifications).
Procedure
To search for objects in WSRR:
- In the WSRR Content view, right-click somewhere in the
view, then click Retrieve... The
Search dialog opens.
- In the Search dialog, select the criteria on which you
want to search. You must select, as a minimum, the type of object
for which you are searching. For example, select the XSD check
box to search for XSD files. The number of results
that are returned depends on how specific the criteria are. For a
list of the criteria on which you can search, see The WebSphere Service Registry and Repository Eclipse user interface.
- Click Search. All
objects in WSRR that
match the search criteria that you specified are displayed in the
Retrieved Items dialog, which opens when the search has completed.
- Click OK to close the Retrieved
Items dialog.
Results
The retrieved items are added to the appropriate categories
of the WSRR Content view; for example, if you searched for some XSD
documents, the XSD documents that were retrieved are listed under
the
XSD Documents category in the WSRR Content
view. If a document imports another document, for example, if a.xsd
imported b.xsd then this is displayed as an expandable tree node with
a + symbol next to the a.xsd document.
If you want to retrieve all
the objects of a certain type from WSRR, you can quickly
do this if you right-click in the WSRR Content view, then click the
object type that you want to retrieve; for example, to retrieve all
the WSDL documents in WSRR,
click Retrieve WSDLs.
What to do next
Now, you can import one or more of the retrieved documents
into a project in your local workspace.
For examples of using the Search dialog, see the demonstration Managing services using the Eclipse user interface.
