Searching by store name and receiving a list of stores with matching names (Java)
In this use case, the user types the name of a seller that he wants to buy from. This usually happens when the user knows the store is open and also has the items he wants to buy.
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:
@PostMapping("/local_retail/search_store_name")
public ResponseEntity searchByStoreName(
@RequestHeader HttpHeaders headers,
@RequestBody ClientSearchRequest request) {
var response = bapApplicationService.generateSearchRequest(request, headers);
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
}
BAP server generates the protocol request body

BAP server calls protocol search to the network
public Response invokeSearch(SearchRequest request, HttpHeaders headers) {
// Call to look up function which returns the the public key and BPP/BG Endpoint to be called
var url = lookUp(headers);
//Call BPP Search api
var searchResponse = apiClient.post(url[0] + Context.ActionEnum.search,
constructRequestHeaders(),
request,
Response.class);
if (responseEntity.getBody() == null || responseEntity.getBody().getError() != null ||
"NACK".equals(responseEntity.getBody().getMessage().getAck().getStatus())) {
// Return custom error to the client
return null;
}
return searchResponse.getBody();
}
BAP receives protocol on_search
