A demo application for getting started with Atlas Search.

Getting Started with Atlas Search in Java

This repository contains examples of using Atlas Search with Java.

The First Search Example code was written for the article "Using Atlas Search From Java".

This example uses the run target and searches the default index.

In order to run the FirstSearchExample, follow these steps:

• Add the sample collections to your Atlas cluster
  • If you're not already an Atlas user, get started with Atlas
• Create an Atlas Search index on the movies collection, named default
• Run the example program: ATLAS_URI="<<insert your connection string here>>" ./gradlew run

getting-started-search-java's Issues

Some comments

• Which version of Java are you targeting ? This doesn't seem explicit in the build.gradle.
• Why is index_config.json in the webapp folder? It's just here for reference, no? Move this in the README.md instead?
• It's not clear to me why you have 2 files FirstSearchExample and SearchServlet? Looks like the blog post is just about the servlet one so why keep the other one in the code?
• Logger improvements:

private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MasterKeyServiceImpl.class);
then 
LOGGER.info("=> Person not found: {}", e.toString());

• fix some warnings
  

Looks like the "close" of the MDB connection isn't handled correctly when the program stops

• Don't use Arrays.asList if you are using List.of in some places. Prefer List.of in my opinion now.

I know it's not true because you have handled the errors but try to reorg the code a little bit so Java knows that maybe are removed the false warning?

• I think I would make some methods to make the code easier to read.

• some code unused on purpose?
  

UI HTML could be improved

I was promised a search box & some data presentation layer ;-)

Fail to start the project with ./gradlew run

TextSearchOperator is expecting SearchPath but we don't have the option to send that value as parameter

@erikhatcher , Can you please help me with the example to pass the value to this below method,

Do you think the parameter to be changed from SearchPath to FieldSearchPath to pass the parameter to this method like this,
SearchOperator.of(SearchOperator.text(SearchPath.fieldPath(fieldName), fieldValue));

Compilation Error : The method text(SearchPath, String) in the type SearchOperator is not applicable for the arguments (FieldSearchPath, Object)

Please help me on this.
