Finds all Organization objects that match all of the criteria specified by the parameters of this call. This is a logical AND operation between all non-null parameters.

Capability Level: 0

Parameters:

findQualifiers - a Collection of find qualifiers as defined by the FindQualifier interface, which specifies qualifiers that affect string matching, sorting, boolean predicate logic, and the like.

namePatterns - a Collection that may consist of either String or LocalizedString objects. Each String or value within a LocalizedString is a partial or full name pattern with wildcard searching as specified by the SQL-92 LIKE specification. Unless otherwise specified in findQualifiers, this is a logical OR, and a match on any name qualifies as a match for this criterion.

classifications - a Collection of Classification objects that classify the object. It is analogous to a catgegoryBag in the UDDI specification. Unless otherwise specified in findQualifiers, this is a logical AND, and a match on all specified Classifications qualifies as a match for this criterion. The programmer may use the LifeCycleManager.createClassification method to create a transient Classification for use in this Collection.

specifications - a Collection of RegistryObjects that represent (proxy) a technical specification. It is analogous to a tModelBag in the UDDI specification. In the case of a UDDI provider, the RegistryObject is a specification Concept. In the case of an ebXML provider, the RegistryObject is likely to be an ExtrinsicObject. Unless otherwise specified in findQualifiers, this is a logical AND, and a match on all specified Specifications qualifies as a match for this criterion.

externalIdentifiers - a Collection of ExternalIdentifier objects that provide an external identifier for the object using an identification scheme such as DUNS. It is analogous to an identifierBag in the UDDI specification. Unless otherwise specified in findQualifiers, this is a logical AND, and a match on all specified ExternalIdentifiers qualifies as a match for this criterion. The programmer may use the LifeCycleManager.createExternalIdentifier method to create a transient ExternalIdentifier for use in this Collection.

externalLinks - a Collection of ExternalLink objects that link the object to content outside the registry. It is analogous to an overviewDoc in the UDDI specification. Unless otherwise specified in findQualifiers, this is a logical AND, and a match on all specified ExternalLinks qualifies as a match for this criterion.
