public class QuickSearchTopics

extends Object

implements GadgetBuilder

The QuickSearchTopics class is a gadget that builds an HTML String containing a set of check boxes for the Quick Search topics found on the database selection page of the SiteSearch OBI. It uses the parameters contained in a RequestManager object and the parameters for the gadget read from the configuration files to build the appropriate output. If an error occurs, an empty string("") is returned.

The parameters to the gadget are:
topicnames - the list of topic names to include in the check box list where the default is 'Articles Books Web'.

For efficiency purposes, the check box string is generated one time and is stored with the user. Any subsequest requests for the data are simply retrievals of the pre-built string.
