DummyConfiguration

Introduction

The Dummy connector does not actually "connect" to an ILS. It is used as a demonstration of how to write a connector, and provides a no-configuration version of the Toolkit for users to download and test with.

Context Descriptor

This example shows how to override the library name in the Dummy connector's context descriptor file dummy.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context>

  <Parameter name="DummyConfiguration.LibraryName" value="Dummy Town Library" override="true"/>

</Context>

See [below](DummyConfiguration#Connector Properties) for the complete list of all Dummy connector properties and their use.

Connector Properties

Parameter	Default value	Notes
DummyConfiguration.LibraryName	Dummytown Library	This is the name of the library.
DummyConfiguration.AgencyScheme	local.edu	This is the NCIP Scheme URI that identifies a list of agencies (libraries, library branches, etc.). Note that this does not have to point to an actual web page or document; it is used only within NCIP messages to uniquely identify the agencies.
DummyConfiguration.AgencyValue	Dummytown	This is the Value of this library's identifier within the NCIP Scheme specified above.
