Problems regarding custom KM Search component

28 Views

HI All,

Requirement: Customize KM Search iView in such a way that after clicking on "show options" link (beside search button), displays the index list as check-boxes.

To meet this requirement I have developed a search component which implements ISearchComponent interface and displays indexes as check-boxes. For this I followed [this article|https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/howto/km/searchcomponents/Developing%20a%20Search%20Component%20for%20KM%20Search%20iView.html#_header1_2]

Also I have override the class-loader RFServiceWrapper service as required.

Problems:

1) I want to display this component on click of a "Show options" link. For this I added this component in a component set's "components for Search Options". But still it is always displayed permanently on the initial display of the iView. How can I achieve toggling of search component?Is there any better way rather than coding?

2) Whenever I make changes and re-deploy the custom coded search component, it shows cached UI screen. I tried clearing the cache from Portal->KM Monitoring,IE Browser cache etc, but in vain. After restarting the server node, expected changes are shown. But is not practical restarting server afetr every few changes. I heard that RFServiceWrapper class-loader service is responsible for this strange Behavior. Does any one experience this problem? If yes, please suggest the remedy for the same.
