matchCandidateXML() - trillium_quality

The matchCandidateXML() 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. The “matchPattern” attribute will be set to the appropriate match pattern value. This method does not return match suspects. To return match suspects as well as candidates, use the matchCandidateWithSuspectsXML() method on page 45.

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 matchCandidateXML(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 is returned.
retCode	int[ ]	Out	4	Error code that indicates the status of the method call.

n* indicates maximum length and varies depending on the platform on which the program is run.
