context-param

You can use the context-param element in the Atom plug-in framework configuration file to pass information to all the implementation classes in the feed application.

Each context-param element defines a context parameter name and its value. The parameter values are stored in the FeedContext object, which is made available to each implementation class; for details of accessing a context parameter in a feed implementation class, see Accessing context parameters.

The context-param element is optional; you can define as many context-param elements as you want.

The context-param element contains the following child elements:
Element Description
description A description of the context parameter; this element is optional.
param-name The name of the context parameter; the name must be unique. This element is required.
param-value The value of the context parameter; this element is required.

Example

<context-param>
  <description>The feed application owning department</description>
  <param-name>department</param-name>
  <param-value>Common services</param-value>
</context-param>
