## Querying

The ```demoQuery()` method demonstrates how to issue queries.

The `demoQuery()` method uses other methods that are defined by `Samples`, namely `displayWild()`, and `displayJ2EEType()`. The `displayWild()` method is shown in the following code.

##### Example 16–11 Querying and displaying wild cards

    [...]
    queryWild(
        final String propertyName,
        final String propertyValue)
    {
        final String[] propNames = new String[] { propertyName };
        final String[] propValues = new String[]{ propertyValue };
        final Set amxs = getQueryMgr().queryWildSet( propNames, propValues );
        return( amxs );
    }
    public Set
    displayWild(
        final String propertyName,
        final String propertyValue)
    {
        final Set items = queryWild( propertyName, propertyValue );
        println( "\n--- Queried for " + propertyName + "="
            + propertyValue + " ---" );
        final Iterator    iter    = items.iterator();
        while ( iter.hasNext() )
        {
            final AMX    item    = (AMX)iter.next();
            println( "j2eeType=" + item.getJ2EEType() + ",
                " + "name=" + item.getName() );
        }
    }
    [...]

The `displayWild()` method calls `queryWild()`, to obtain all the AMX MBeans that have object names matching `propertyName` and `propertyValue`. To do so, `queryWild()` calls the `com.sun.appserv.management.base.QueryMgr.queryWildSet()` method. The `queryWildSet()` method returns the list of AMX MBeans with object names matching the wild card strings.

For each MBean returned, the `displayWild()` calls `AMX.getJ2EEType()` to identify its J2EE type, and prints the result onscreen.

In code that is not shown here, the `displayJ2EEType()` method calls the `queryForJ2EEType()` method, which was seen in Accessing and Displaying the Attributes of an AMX MBean, to identify MBeans of a certain J2EE type and print their object names onscreen.

##### Example 16–12 Querying

    [...]
    demoQuery()
    {
        displayWild( AMX.J2EE_TYPE_KEY, "X-*ResourceConfig" );
        displayWild( AMX.J2EE_TYPE_KEY, "X-*ServerConfig" );
        displayJ2EEType( XTypes.SSL_CONFIG );
        displayJ2EEType( XTypes.CLUSTER_CONFIG );
    }
    [...]

In the `demoQuery()` method, the `displayWild()` and `displayJ2EEType()` methods are called to find the following MBeans:

- `J2EE_TYPE_KEY` MBeans called `ResourceConfig`

- `J2EE_TYPE_KEY` MBeans called `ServerConfig`

- All `SSL_CONFIG` MBeans

- All `CLUSTER_CONFIG` MBeans
