SRU::Response::SearchRetrieve - A class for representing SRU searchRetrieve responses

SYNOPSIS

Top

    ## create response from the request object
    my $response = SRU::Response::SearchRetrieve->new( $request );

    ## add records to the response 
    foreach my $record ( @records ) { $response->addRecord( $record ); }

    ## print out the response as XML
    print $response->asXML();

DESCRIPTION

Top

SRU::Response::SearchRetrieve provides a framework for bundling up the response to a searchRetrieve request. You are responsible for generating the XML representation of the records, and the rest should be taken care of.

METHODS

Top

new()

numberOfRecords()

Returns the number of results associated with the object.

addRecord()

Add a SRU::Response::Record object to the response.

    $response->addRecord( $r );

If you don't pass in the right sort of object you'll get back undef and $SRU::Error will be populated appropriately.

records()

Gets or sets all the records associated with the object. Be careful with this one :) You must pass in an array ref, and expect an array ref back.

resultSetId()

resultSetIdleTime()

nextRecordPosition()

diagnostics()

extraResponseData()

echoedSearchRetrieveRequest()

asXML()

    asXML(encoding=>"ISO-8859-1")

Returns the object serialized as XML. UTF-8 and UTF-16 are default encodings if you don't pass the encoding parameter. You can define different encoding in order to parse you XML document correctly.
