matchCandidateWithSuspectsXML() - trillium_quality

The matchCandidateWithSuspectsXML() method is used to match a record in an XML document to candidate records embedded in the same XML document. This method will append the “matchPattern” attribute to any candidate record that is considered a match or match suspect. The “matchPattern” attribute will be set to the appropriate match pattern value. This method returns both matches and match suspects. To return only matches, use the matchCandidateXML method.

Note: Use of this method requires a special configuration file to define the format of the XML document. This configuration file is pointed to by the TRILLCONFIG environment variable.

Syntax

public void matchCandidateWithSuspectsXML(int handle,
                          java.lang.String rootTag,
                          java.lang.String inputXML,
                          java.lang.StringBuffer outputXML,
                          int retCode[]);

Parameters

Name	Type	Use	Length	Description
handle	int	In	––	Handle to a Director matcher server.
rootTag	string[ ]	In	n*	XML root tag.
inputXML	string[ ]	In	n*	XML string containing the data to be matched.
outputXML	string[ ]	Out	n*	StringBuffer where the matched XML will be returned.
retCode	int[ ]	Out	4	Error code that indicates the status of the method call.

n* indicates that the length depends on the platform on which the program runs.

Example

TrilTGenClient testClient = new TrilTGenClient();

// Return code and handle
int[] retCode= new int[1];
int handle = 0;

// System and Server ID for attach()

String serverName = "RMatcher";

// Root Tag of XML document
String rootTag = "CustomerData/PrimaryCustomer";

// This is the input (dirty) XML document
