This section describes the configuration models for the navigation cartridges.
You can use these models as a reference when developing your own cartridges and cartridge handlers. Generally, Oracle recommends adhering to a similar approach and dividing configuration inputs to a cartridge across the following categories (ordered from lowest to highest priority):
Application-wide default configuration — For the navigation cartridges, these values are configured in the Spring context file.
Template-specific default configuration — These values are included in the cartridge template XML.
Instance configuration — These values are configured by the business user in Experience Manager.
End user inputs — For the navigation cartridges, these values are passed in as URL parameters.
