Parameter search

[GoogleCodeExporter]

With Parameter searching for investigations implemented we now need a way of 
finding the parameters to search. Currently the only method is 

listParameters(String sessionId);

which is limited to 200 and cannot be paged.

We need methods to get parameters: I suggest 

1) Paging version of the listParameters method
2) getParametersByName(String sessionId, String name) which searches for 
parameters by name. I suggest it is very eager (i.e. %name% in searches) and 
case insensitive.
3) What about getParametersByUnits(String sessionId, String units), so for 
example I can find all parameters measured in Kelvin - again should be eager 
and case insensitive)

Hi,

you are right. listParameters(sid) is not enough.

It could be useful also to include methods like:

 · getParameterByNameUnits (String sessionId, String name, String units).

 · getParameterByAdvanced (String sessionId, AdvanedDetailParameter p). In AdvanedDetail you can select search mode  (NAME_CONTAINS, NAME_EQUAL ..., UNITS_START_WITH, UNITS_END_WITH,...)

HI Najor,
That sounds good to me.
Searching should be case insensitive I think.

Are you OK to implement this functionality?

Hi Tom,

Yes. I'd try to add this funcionality and commit the changes before our next 
meeting.

Best regards.

Hi Tom,

The changes are made. If you can take a look at it'd be of great help.

Thanks.
