     * Fedora requests. If the expected message is found in the exception, than
     * the authentication popup is displayed. However, other causes for an

     * 
     * Two kinds of search are provided by Fedora as stated in FedoraAccess.java
     * (see link):
     * <pre>
     * "There are two search methods: a search on all fields or a search on
     * specific fields. To search all fields the setTerms function of the 
     * FieldSearchQuery must be used, with the paramater being the desired string.
     * 
     * To search by specific fields, you must create an array of Condition
     * objects. Each condition consists of three parts: 
     * the field to be searched (.setProperty()), 
     * the operation to be used (.setOperator(ComparisonOperator. &lt;operator&gt;)), 
     * and the search string (.setValue())"
     * </pre>
     * We want to use the second search method above when browsing and searching, 
     * and search for: pid~greenstone:&lt;collName&gt;* title~&lt;letter&gt;*
     * or pid~greenstone:&lt;collName&gt;* title~&lt;first word of search phrase&gt;
     * See also fedora-2.2.1-src/src/java/fedora/client/search/Search.java.
     * 
     * The fedora/tomcat/webapps/fedora/WEB-INF/web.xml is where the REST-based 
     * web services are defined. (The web.xml defines the "Servlets for REST-based
     * interfaces to the Fedora Repository Server"). 
     * Do a search on the word "search":
     * fedora.server.access.FieldSearchServlet is the class we need to look at
     * It accesses a different Condition.java class: fedora.server.search.Condition.java
     * The above is what is used by the REST-based interface in FieldSearchServlet.java
     * While fedora-2.2.1-src/build/wsdl/fedora/server/types/gen/Condition.java
     * is what's used in the fedora client application that makes use of
     * the SOAP-based interface.
