ALM Synchronizer Adapter Get Endpoint Parameters

Question

When developing an Adapter for HP ALM Synchronizer, in our Adapter class we define method

public Map<String, String> getEndpointParams(EntityType entityType)

which tells the Synchronizer which are the extra parameters that our Adapter needs.

I would like to know how can I get the values the user filled. If I call the method above, will I get the map with all keys but no values? or will I get the values the user used? Or is there any other method for this?

Thanks

The RecordManager interface is the one that has the method getEndpointParams(). So once you create your instance of RecordManager (example: XmlDefectManager) you can call getEndpointParams().
Additionally, this interface provides 2 method you have to implement:

• checkEndpointParams(Map<String, String> params): here you can check that the parameters provided by the user are valid.
• setEndpointParams(Map<String, String> params): here you set endpoint params to a local variable.
