Running a Visual J++ Query

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

You can run a Visual J++ application to submit a query in several ways, which include the following.

To execute a Visual J++ query for a command-prompt application

  1. Set the PATH environment variable to include "D:\mssdk\Bin", where D: is the drive on which you installed the Platform SDK.

  2. Open a command window and change the directory to the path of the Visual J++ application.

  3. Submit a query by entering, at the command-line prompt:

    jview /p /cp:p "<JAVAPACKAGES>" query-application-command

    where query-application-command is the command line for the application. For appropriate values of query-application-command for the VJQuery Sample, see the User's Guide for that sample.

    The output of the script appears in the command window in which you run Jview.

To execute a Visual J++ query for a Windows application

  1. Select Start, Run... from the Windows toolbar.

  2. Submit the query by entering, at the command prompt:

    wjview /p /cp:p "<JAVAPACKAGES>" query-application-command

    where query-application-command is the command line for the application.

    Wjview spawns a separate window process for windows-based applications, and is inappropriate for Visual J++ command applications (like VJQuery) that require input from or output to a command window.
