Java Sample

Here is a sample that shows how to display the ID and type of all duplicates detected when a lead is saved. See DuplicateResult for a full code sample that shows how to block users from entering duplicate leads and display an alert and a list of duplicates.

2    System.out.println("Your record matched " + mr.getRecord().getId() + " of type "
3        + mr.getRecord().getType());
