Retrieve search criteria from FilterBuilder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I need to retrieve the search criteria entered by the user from a
filterBuilder. Specifically, i want to get the fields and values that make
up the search.
At the moment i want to do it locally, without RPCs.
[CODE]System.out.println(filterBuilder.getCriteria().getValues());[/CODE]
returns:
[CODE]{_constructor=AdvancedCriteria, operator=and, criteria=[object
Object]}[/CODE]
I have tried different ways to retrieve the search parameters from the
criteria field in the map, but i always get the string: [object Object]

I have also tried to do it in the filterBuilder sample of the showcase,
with the WorldsXmlDS DataSource, with the same result.

Any advice? 
Thanks in advance

I am also looking for same kind of solution.

I want to save the parameters and criteria entered by the end user.

Any help ?

Criteria cr = filterBuilder.getCriteria();
                Map map = cr.getValues();
                Set keys = map.keySet();
                Iterator it = keys.iterator();

                while( it.hasNext()){
                    String key = it.next().toString();
                    System.out.println("=> "+map.get(key));
                }
Out put
=> AdvancedCriteria
=> and
=> [object Object]

Now how can I retrieve values from objects and later i can set it back to 
filter 
builder when user logged in again????

Advanced Criteria is a nested structure and cannot be converted to a simple 
field-value Map because there may be more than one Criterion on the same field.

APIs on AdvancedCriteria such as getCriteria() allow you to recursively 
traverse the structure to discover whatever you want.

You can easily serialize and restore an AdvancedCriteria using JSONEncoder.
