Hi All,
I am moving an application from FileMaker to WebObjects/Wonder.
Everything works very well but the are used to 'find' everthing, so
they can do a search on every field.
Can I use my objects to build a query, for instance if I have an
object Movie, can I build a query from that object.
Or is it better to use D2W? I did a test but I can't find a good
explanation about that.
Any advice about that?
My first suggest (impractical as it is) is to convince them that they
don't need or want to search _everything_. You can try to focus them
on thinking about what they will actually use.
You could use the model to generate the query, but that is going to be
slow if you have any significant amount of data. Another option is
to Lucene to create an indexable form of each object. That will make
everything searches fast. I think ERIndexing is what you want. I have
never used it.
