About initialization setting in calling structure search API

hello!

Usually, we do search as following:

 public static int[] subStrucSearch(String queryStruc)
    {          
     JChemSearch jcs = new JChemSearch();     
     JChemSearchOptions jcSearchOptions = new JChemSearchOptions(SearchConstants.SUBSTRUCTURE);

        int hitSum=0;
        int[] hitID=null;
       
        try {                   
       jcs.setStructureTable(structTableName);
       jcs.setQueryStructure(queryStruc);
       jcs.setSearchOptions(jcSearchOptions);
       jcs.setConnectionHandler(getConnJCB());
       jcs.run();
                   
       hitSum=jcs.getResultCount();             
       .........................................................     

Every time we call this search method in our software, we must initialize these setting again(as red color code). So, we want to know whether there has a more efficiency method to initialize  these setting once?

Is there any java examples? Thanks!

Hi,

I don't think so. Every time you would like to execute a search, then you have to create a new JChemSearch instance with the necessary parameters and options. Could you please provide me an example how would like to use this?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

 

You should be able to re-use the same JChemSearch object in subsequent searches by simply setting only what has changed (e.g. query structure) and running the search again with run().

If you notice any problems with this (there should not be any) please report it as a bug.

Note: you should not use the same JChemSearch object at the same time from multiple threads, in that case you need multiple instances.
