Tokens in an EDML file—such as @@filename@@ in this example—map values in the
include file to properties of a connection object. You set the properties of connection objects
in the JavaScript implementation file.
All the default connection dialog boxes that come with Dreamweaver use the
connection_includefile.edml mapping file. To let Dreamweaver find this file, its name is set in
the JavaScript implementation file, as shown in the following example:
var PARTICIPANT_FILE = "connection_includefile";
When you create a custom connection type, you can use any mapping file in your custom
dialog boxes. If you create a mapping file, you can use a name other than
connection_includefile for your EDML file. If you use a different name, you need to use this
name in your JavaScript implementation file when you specify the value that is assigned to the
PARTICIPANT_FILE variable, as shown in the following example:
var PARTICIPANT_FILE = "myConnection_mappingfile";
