Setting up a property request

Before a client can access properties from a proxy it must read those properties from the resource into a proxy. The client application must include the name of the properties in a property request when reading them from the resource into a proxy. For example:

// Create a PropertyRequest - specify the names of 
// properties wanted from the resource. 
PropertyRequest myPropList1 =
  new PropertyRequest(Resource.COMMENT,
                      Resource.CONTENT_LENGTH,
                      Resource.CONTENT_TYPE,
                      Resource.CREATOR_DISPLAY_NAME,
                      Resource.DISPLAY_NAME);

For a specific resource interface, you can specify properties defined in the interface itself or any of the interfaces it extends. For example, for a HCL Compass query you can specify properties that are defined in the CqQuery interface, the CqContextResource interface, the CqResource interface, the StpResource interface, or the Resource interface:

PropertyRequest myPropListr =
     new PropertyRequest(StpResource.USER_FRIENDLY_LOCATION, 
                         Resource.DISPLAY_NAME,
                // include properties specific to the Query 
                         CqQuery.DISPLAY_FIELDS,
                         CqQuery.DYNAMIC_FILTERS);
