I have updated APIExamples.java to show how to do a ranked search (see
rankSearch), and how to iterate over the results of a search and get
the text for the verses. You will see examples of how to iterate over
verses (see export) and over ranges of verses (see searchAndShow). In
one of the examples you will see how you can provide your own xslt,
which you will need to do.<br>
<br>
It may take a bit to show up on the web at

, but you can get to it in CVS.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks for your reply Mark. I already received a
response from Troy on the sword team and he showed me
their web with the c++ version sword engine.

They use idl to work with sword and also thinking of
implementing the same idl to work with the jsword.
So I am still thinking how I can contribute so it
could be useful yet not duplicate what Troy already
got.
I'd like to play the ajax a bit first. It does sound
great.
I looked at the Key but I am not sure how to iterate
effectively. I was thinking a small wrapper for the
key that return me the plaintext or the html for a
given key. I iterate and create a wrapper object for
each key and put the wrapper into a list. When I
display, I call the wrapper method to return text or
html. If your way is better, would you please add your
iterate into the APIExample page ?
Thanks

<pre wrap="">Welcome Yiguang!
Your work does not overlap ours and is most
welcomed.
I don't know any way to easily search the mailing
list archives except
via google. Just include jsword-devel in your
search.
We don't actually return the text of verses as the
result of a search
but a list of references to verses. At first this
might seem like a
drawback. It is a huge resource savings as you have
a lot of control
over how verses are fetched.
The search result will be a Key object which can be
iterated over. Key
has a very list like interface. You can get an
iterator, the number of
elements or a particular element by position. The
elements returned from
the iteration are references to verses. You have a
choice as to what
kind of Key to use. Typically it will be a
PassageTally or a BitwisePassage.
You can subset the Key into other keys so that you
can return partial
results (e.g. pages with 50 verses on them)
From a key you can request the text or an xsl
transformation of the
text. The xslt that we use within BibleDesktop
creates HTML with custom
protocols. I think that changing that would be make
it work for the web.
You can see examples of most of this at

<pre wrap="">It does not have examples of how to iterate, but I
can add those if you ask.
In the context of a web, you might want to look at
ways to keep from
refreshing the entire page with each request. Joe
has been working on
DWR (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr/">http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr/</a>), which is AJAX for
Java made easy and
it has just gone 1.0. This may be of use in making a
website experience
very enjoyable.
Hope this is a good start. Looking forward to seeing
your website!
