/** * Gets the Row external value for the specified object list. * @param searchServiceId. the search service identifier * @param objList the list of Search Service related entity * objects. * @return the externalKey. */ String getExtKey(final SearchServiceKey serviceId, List objList) ;
The getExtKey interface method returns a unique identifier for the specified Search Service. This key is used as the key for each row in the SearchServiceRow table in the staging database. Note that the objList parameter is the output of the getObjectList interface method described above. For Example, calling getExtKey for the PersonSearch Search Service should return the concernRoleID of the record in question.
If this method is called for data that the search service doesn't care about then it should return null.
