What does this section cover?

Variables file

All custom variables are declared in variables.xml file, which must be created under <custom_project>/web/WebContent/metadata directory.

Define Custom Variables

To define a new custom variable you have to use a unique variable name.

variables.xml 
<variableconfig>
	<variables>
		<variable>
			<name>myvariable</name>
			<value>testvalue</value>
			<description>This is a test variable.</description>
		</variable>
	</variables>
</variableconfig>

Retrieve Custom Variable Values

To retrieve the variable value, you must use getVariable(String variableName, String context, String organisationID) method of com.crm.framework.metadata.MetadataUtil class.

getVariable 
public void myMethod() throws Exception{
	// variableValue = "testvalue"
	String variableValue = MetadataUtil.getVariable("myvariable", getCRMSession().getRealPath(), getOrganisationID());
	...
}
