How to write cts query using marklogic java api

I want to run below query using the MarkLogic Java API

cts:search(fn:doc(), cts:and-query((cts:collection-query("/abc/xyz"), 
cts:collection-query("/abc/xyz/pqr"))))
Solution

  • Use a StructuredQueryBuilder, the and() and collection() methods to construct the equivalent structured query to search for documents that are in both the collections.

    // create the client -- this will change slightly in Java Client API 4.x
DatabaseClient client = 
    DatabaseClientFactory.newClient(host, port, user, password, authType);
// create a manager for searching
QueryManager queryMgr = client.newQueryManager();

// create a query builder
StructuredQueryBuilder qb = new StructuredQueryBuilder();
// build a search definition
StructuredQueryDefinition query = 
    qb.and(
      qb.collection("/abc/xyz"), 
      qb.collection("/abc/xyz/pqr"));

// run the search
queryMgr.search(query, resultsHandle);
