HTTP request parameter naming convention

A naming convention used on SubForm parameters prevents collisions with other parameters (such as contextual parameters).

The naming convention for SubForm parameters is:

[prefix].[attributename].[parametername] 

where:

prefix
property.data
attributename
Name of the attribute on which the SubForm is placed on the main form.
parametername
Name used in the SubForm Editor dialog. For example, an HTTP parameter named property.erracfconnectgroup.objectClass would contain the value defined in the SubForm editor dialog assigned to objectClass.

To assign this value to a string declared inside a servlet:

String objectClass =
request.getParameter("property.data.erracfconnectgroup.objectClass");
