The following table describes the ServiceZoneHandler parameters:

Parameter

Description

SERVICE

The page service to retrieve data, e.g. CILFAFHP

XSLURL

Path to XSLT file (for example, WEB-INF/xsl/linkValueGrid.xsl)

Your files should be under /cm/xsl.

ALLOW_​GET_​ALL

Allow display of "Get All" button if the data that you want to show won't fit in one buffer.

KEY1 - KEY5

Defines required keys. If one of these keys is empty the zone is not rendered (unless null keys are allowed, see below).

ALLOW_​NULL_​KEYS

If ALLOW_​NULL_​KEYS is "Y", only one of the keys is required (any will work).

The following diagram illustrates example parameters for the service zone type:
