Template Variables
The template engine hosts a pool of objects in its context in the form of a hash table. You can refer to the variables in that context by their names, between a pair of percentage sign (%) delimiters. The delimiter character distinguishes between common text messages and special placeholders, which are processed by the template engine to replace the values of the Java objects. For example, there's an IFileRecord object with the name fileHeaderRecord in the template context, and you can refer to the object using %fileRecord%. To escape %, use %%. For example, %%40 means %40. Oracle Self-Service E-Billing provides some preconfigured variables you can use in the XML template files. Some variables can be used in the record template files only. See Table 103 for a list. You can use the variables described in Table 102 in either file structured or record XML template files.

cartridgeProperty |
java.util.Properties |
Contains all of the properties configured in the cartridge properties file. The cartridge properties file maps different values with the same key for a payment consolidator. You can define your own properties which can be used directly in template files by invoking the setProperty method of object cartridgeProperty, for example: $cartridgeProperty.setProperty("newKey", "newValue")$ |
template |
com.edocs.payment.util.template |
The template object used to parse the template file. |
templateDir |
java.lang.String |
The directory where the template files are located for a payment consolidator. You set this value in the Command Center when setting up the payment consolidator. |
dateUtil |
com.edocs.common.pc.util.DateUtil |
The utility class for processing data of Date type. |
stringUtil |
com.edocs.payment.util.StringUtil |
The utility class for processing data of String type. This variable makes calling the static methods of StringUtil easier. Use
stringUtil.concat("a","b","c")% instead of %com.edocs.payment.util.
StringUtil.concat("a","b","c")% |
decimalUtil |
com.edocs.payment.util.DecimalUtil |
The utility class for processing data of Decimal type. |
Table 103 shows the variables that you can use in record XML templates only.
