Create an array of FinderResult objects by calling the findRelation operation on an object.

FinderResult[] results = vsoWebControl.findRelation("VC:ComputeResource", 
    "vcenter/domain-s114", "getResourcePool()", "username", "password");

The preceding example returns an array of FinderResult objects that match the following criteria.

Extract the results from a FinderResult object.

To show, interpret, or process the results in the FinderResult objects that the find operation returns, you must convey these results to the Web service application.

The following example shows how to extract the results returned in a FinderResult object.

public static void displayFinderResult(FinderResult finderResult) {
  if (finderResult != null) {
    System.out.println("Finder result is of type '" 
      + finderResult.getType() 
      + "', id '" + finderResult.getId() 
      + "' and uri '" 
      + finderResult.getDunesUri() + "'");
    System.out.println("And has properties :");
    Property[] props = finderResult.getProperties();
    if (props != null) {
      for (int ii = 0; ii < props.length; ii++) {
          System.out.println("\t" + props[ii].getName() + "=" 
            + props[ii].getValue());
      }
    }
  }

The example defines an internal method, displayFinderResult, which takes a FinderResult object and obtains and shows its type, ID, the URI at which it is located, and its properties. You can use the URI to set arguments when starting or answering workflows. The getType, getId, getProperties and getDunesUri methods are defined by the FinderResult object.
