Using the recursive Flag

By default, when you query CM-Well under a certain path, CM-Well searches directly under that path and not in its child paths.

For example, if the Person infoton <cm-well-host>/example/Individuals/JohnSmith exists, and you perform the following query:

<cm-well-host>/example?op=search&qp=type.rdf:http://data.com/Person

- no results are returned. But if you add the recursive flag as follows:

<cm-well-host>/example?op=search&qp=type.rdf:http://data.com/Person&recursive

- the infoton is returned.

When you perform a search on a certain path using the recursive flag , all child paths are searched as well, and their child paths, and so on recursively.

Note

If you're not getting the query results you expect, you may need to add the recursive flag to the query.
