i am writing java code for getting total term frequency(number of times a  
term occured within a document).  
please help me to write this.

here is the document that i inserted into elastic search index.  
"resp\_aaa\_error":[  
{"edi\_location":"Payer","error\_code":"45","followup\_action\_code":"R"},  
{"edi\_location":"Payer  
ID","error\_code":"45","followup\_action\_code":"R"},  
{"edi\_location":"Dependent  
ID","error\_code":"45","followup\_action\_code":"R"},  
{"edi\_location":"Subscriber  
ID","error\_code":"45","followup\_action\_code":"R"}  
]  
but when i count how many no of times error\_code is equal to 45, it  
returns 1.  
but i want it to return 4 as it is 4 times in my document.

please help me. it's kind of urgent.
