                              java.rmi.RemoteException

Perform a search operation against the metadata repository which will return a count of the matching objects, rather than the objects themselves. The search is done with security off. In this way, an application can determine if objects exist even if they can't read those objects.

Parameters:

filter - A Filter specifying the selection criteria as well as any template that's desired for the operation.

If no repository is set on the Filter, all repositories in the server will be searched.

association - An optional parameter that requests that a specific association be counted rather than the top level objects. If this is used, only one top level object can be returned by the filter, and a template must be supplied to return the association to count.

Returns:

The count of matching objects.

Throws:

ServiceException - In the event of a server error.

java.rmi.RemoteException - In the event of remote object failure.
