• GoogleDb.java

• JNDIDb.java

• JDBCDb.java

• RemoteRDMDb.java

Search result set Java programs

Each is the Java class to manage search results and convert the results to RDM search results (SOIF format):

• GoogleResultSet.java

• JNDIResultSet.java

• JDBCResultSet.java

• RemoteRDMResultSet.java

build.xml

Compile the above Java files and build a federatedsearch.jar.
