The Parameters File

The parameters file provides an ability to specify parameters that are passed into the filter code in the init method.

The filterParams section is passed in as a JDOM Element.

Stores that are specified as either 'filter' or 'external' can have additional parameters provided in a param file. However params are not mandatory.

<externalParams> identify the params to be passed to an external URL.

<filterParams> identify the params to be passed to the filter class.

Here is a sample params file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<storeParams>

    <externalParams>

        <checkinParams>

            <param name="param2">value2</param>

        </checkinParams>

        <checkoutParams>

            <param name="param1">value1</param>

        </checkoutParams>

    </externalParams>

    <filterParams>

        <param name="param1">value2</param>

        <param name="param2">value2</param>

    </filterParams>

</storeParams>
