public String getSetting(String name)

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...
}
