public class SearchAction

extends IntactBaseAction

This class provides the actions required to carry out search operations for intact via a web-based interface. The search criteria are obtained from a Form object and then the search is carried out, via the IntactUser functionality, which provides the business logic. Once a search has been carried out, this class will forward to another Action class as appropriate to generate specific types of data that will later be displayed via the View classes.
