Search Component Data Builder customization

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: Performing Global Search on "Name & Number" only behavior, without Index Search when users select a check box added next to global search Field

Description:

Hello PTC Community !

I'm looking for a way to implement the use case requested by my client on Windchill 12.0.2.7 and Windchill 13.0.2.6 (upgrade in progress).

At first I proposed to automatically set following user's preferences values when he checks the box:

• Enable Index Search to "No"
  /com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/search/includeIndexGlobalSearch
• Keyword Search Behavior to "Name & Number" (3)
  /com/ptc/windchill/enterprise/search/controlKeywordSearchBehaviour
  

But this solution implies to save previous users's values to reset them whhile unchecking the box and the client wants that we study a way to implement the use case without impacting those preferences.

So, I tried to override the ootb DATA_ONLY component builder: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.mvc.builders.SearchDataBuilder with following class added in codebase/config/mvc/custom.xml as we do for some other MVC Component Builders customizations.

Please find below an abstract of the code:

package com.client.search.builders;

import com.ptc.mvc.components.OverrideComponentBuilder;
import com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.mvc.builders.SearchDataBuilder;

@OverrideComponentBuilder
public class ClientSearchDataBuilder extends SearchDataBuilder {
}

But once deployed, I've this error raised in MethodServer:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoUniqueBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.mvc.builders.SearchDataBuilder' available: expected single matching bean but found 2: com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.search.mvc.builders.SearchDataBuilder#0,com.client.search.builders.ClientSearchDataBuilder#0

I tried many things in addition to make Spring configuration working, but it's still running like if @OverrideComponentBuilder annotation was not taken into account here.

FYI, OOTB SearchDataBuilder is defined like this:

@ComponentBuilder(value = {"search.default.searchResults"}, type = ComponentBuilderType.DATA_ONLY)
public class SearchDataBuilder extends AbstractJcaDataSourceComponentDataBuilder

 Thanks in advance for your help/advices/other solutions...

Regards,
