Parameters
Usage
All custom tags implemented in Java share a registry key for storing settings. To avoid name
conflicts, preface the names of settings with the name of your custom tag class. For example, the
code below retrieves the value of a setting named VerifyAddress for a custom tag class named
MyCustomTag:
String strVerify = request.getSetting("MyCustomTag.VerifyAddress") ;
if ( Boolean.valueOf(strVerify) )
{
// Do address verification...
}
Parameter Description
name The name of the setting to retrieve (case-insensitive)
