getEntryByKey method
Example

Finds a view entry of type document based on its column values within a view. You create a key or vector of keys, where each key corresponds to a value in a sorted column in the view. The method returns the first entry with column values that match the keys.

Defined in

View

Syntax

public ViewEntry getEntryByKey(java.util.Vector keys)
   throws NotesException

public ViewEntry getEntryByKey(Object key)
   throws NotesException

public ViewEntry getEntryByKey(java.util.Vector keys, boolean exact)
   throws NotesException

public ViewEntry getEntryByKey(Object key, boolean exact)
   throws NotesException

Parameters

java.util.Vector keys


Object key
boolean exact
Return value

ViewEntry


Usage

For the getEntryByKey method to work using a key, you must have at least one column sorted for every key in the vector.

This method returns only the first entry with column values that match the strings you indicate. To locate all matching entries, use getAllEntriesByKey.

Matches are not case-sensitive. For example, "Turban" matches "turban." In an exact match, "cat" matches "cat" but does not match "category," while "20" matches "20" but does not match "201." In a partial match, "T" matches "Tim" or "turkey," but does not match "attic," while "cat" matches "catalog" or "category," but does not match "coat" or "bobcat."

This method is similar to getDocumentByKey.
