Displaying record counts

The RecordCountConfig type is used for counting the records in the state.

RecordCountConfig syntax

The format of the RecordCountConfig type is: 
<RecordCountConfig Id="?">
   <StateName>?</StateName>
</RecordCountConfig>
The meanings of the RecordCountConfig elements and attributes are as follows:
Element/Attribute Meaning
Id Required. An arbitrary identifier for this RecordCountConfig.
StateName Specifies an existing named state in the request, using these rules:
  • If the request has multiple named states, then the StateName element must reference one (and only one) of the named states.
  • If the request has only one named state, then it is optional as to whether the StateName element is used to reference that named state (as the state will be used in any event in the RecordCountConfig).
  • If the request has an unnamed state, then the StateName element cannot be used.

RecordCountConfig example

This example performs a record search and uses a RecordCountConfig to count the number of records that were returned: 
<Request xmlns="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/conversation/3/0">
   <State>
      <TextSearchFilter Key="Flavors" Mode="AllPartial" Language="en">oak</TextSearchFilter>
   </State> 
   <RecordCountConfig Id="NumRecs"/>
</Request>

Note that the StateName was not used because the state is not named.
