Here is an example on how to invoke the ClerkecertifyConnector methods and send docket information to Clerk E-Certify

A unique identifier to group a user requests are always required. Typically, a browser session ID is used as the unique identifier.

ADDCOURTDOCTOSHOPPINGCART() This service method is used by Clerk’s Web Application to send docker information to Clerk E-Certify application. Clerk application invokes this method, which results in a HTTP Post to Clerk eCertify.

Method name: AddCourtDocToShoppingCart () Source: Clerk’s Application Target: Clerk E-Certify Web Application Method: Https Post Return value: This method returns the number of unique documents currently available for purchase for the given identifier within Clerk E-Certify.

The method authenticates request from Clerk website using the IP Address of the sender (Clerk’s web server back-end IP, not a front-end Client IP). Clerk’s web application can invoke the method multiple times, sending document information one docket at a time. Upon successful data validation, Clerk E-Certify proceeds to save requests in its database.

GETSHOPPINGCARTURL() This method returns the URL of the Clerk E-Certify shopping cart. The URL query string will include the “UniqueIdentifier” as a parameter.

After retrieving the URL, the caller can redirect the web session to the target URL to complete the checkout process. Clerk E-Certify performs following actions upon browser redirect.

1. Retrieves document information posted earlier using HTTP Post.
2. Groups all requests using the unique identifier passed in by the caller.
3. Verify images are available for all requested documents.
4. If images are available, they are automatically added to the shopping cart and user is redirected to the shopping cart view.
5. If one or more images are not available, user has the option to proceed to the cart or go back to search engine.
6. User can perform “checkout” to finalize the transaction and receive the documents in email.

Sample Code /* Initialize the class / / calling application must pass in a unique identifier for each purchase transaction */ ShoppingCart myShoppingCart = new ShoppingCart(UniqueIdentifier, Url, PublisherCode, SubscriberCode, Token);

/* next send the docket information to Clerk E-Certify. You must call this method for each docket ID CaseNO (UCN only): 372019CF0000001XXXXXX, CaseNoType: UCN, Description: “ARREST WRRANT”, DocumentNo: 12345, (document ID = 12345) PageCount: 3, Qty: 1, (always 1 copy per document) Redactionflag: Y Field1: 444 (Document version), Field2: null (not used), Field3: null (not used), Field4: null (not used), Field5: null (not used) */

Var ret = myShoppingCart.AddCourtDocToShoppingCart(372019CF0000001XXXXXX, UCN, “ARREST WRRANT”, 12345 , 3, 1,’Y’, 444, null, null, null, null);

/* Repeat above step for additional court documents / / Finally get the URL for viewing the content of the shopping cart and making the payment */ string url = myShoppingCart.GetShoppingCartUrl();
