AdvancedCriteria / CombineCriteria question

[jrich]

Hello,

I am using smartGwt 2.5 (according to the jar) which I downloaded from the nightlies on 8th Feb.

I have been trying to combine two advancedCriteria but seem to be having problems.

I have two criteria, criteriaOne and criteriaTwo as follows...

AdvancedCriteria criteriaOne = new AdvancedCriteria(OperatorId.OR, new Criterion[] {
                new Criterion("status", OperatorId.EQUALS, 2),
                new Criterion("status", OperatorId.EQUALS, 3)});
criteriaOne.addCriteria(new AdvancedCriteria("incInVat", OperatorId.EQUALS, 1));

 AdvancedCriteria criteriaTwo = new AdvancedCriteria(OperatorId.OR, new Criterion[] {
                new Criterion("status", OperatorId.EQUALS, 2),
                new Criterion("status", OperatorId.EQUALS, 3)});
criteriaTwo.addCriteria("paidVat", OperatorId.NOT_EQUAL, 1);

I would like to combine the two with an OR operator.

I have tried to do this

criteria = new AdvancedCriteria(criteriaOne);
                criteria.addCriteria(criteriaTwo);
                criteria.setOperator(OperatorId.OR);

but this changes the AND operator in criteriaOne to be OR so this does not have the desired effect.

I have tried this

criteria = new AdvancedCriteria(DataSource.combineCriteria(criteriaOne,
                        criteriaTwo).getJsObj());

but this returns the criteria with an AND operator.

I have also tried this

criteria = (AdvancedCriteria)DataSource.combineCriteria(criteriaOne,
                        criteriaTwo,
                        CriteriaCombineOperator.OR,
                        TextMatchStyle.SUBSTRING);

but this returns null.

Could you please tell me how I can combine the two criterias with an OR operator? I appreciate that I could do it manually but I have more complex criterias to combine and would like to use the methods provided.

Many Thanks

Jeni

Just write

criteria = new AdvancedCriteria(
    OperatorId.OR,
    new Criterion[] { criteriaOne, criteriaTwo }
);
