Class MatchTuple

java.lang.Object
  com.stc.eindex.ejb.query.MatchTuple

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class MatchTuple

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

The MatchTuple class is used by the match engine when a candidate pool of possible matches to a record is returned by the Query Manager. Each record is one instance of the MatchTuple class. This class consists of the EUID of the record and a String array of elements each corresponding to a field in the record (converted to a String). If a field is null in the database, the corresponding array element is also null. The fields included in the String array are the fields defined for matching in the Match Field file in the eView Project.
