Description copied from interface: IMatchTypeFactory

This method constructs a match function for a specific match type definition with the specified name and parameters. After construction of this function the object is expected to be reentrant. When a match function could not be created the factory should throw an exception, when the match function could not be found a null pointer should be returned.

Specified by:

getMatchFunction in interface IMatchTypeFactory

Parameters:

typeName - The type name of the match function.

name - The name of the user created match function.

parameters - The parameters which can be used to initialize a match function with specific settings.

Returns:

A match function implementation object. If the match function was unknown null can be returned.
