URL parameters

URL parameters are important for telling xmlwebgui which templates you want to be opened, which CSS should be used for displaying the elements and under which filename the result should be saved. Following parameters are used:

template: specifies the template which is going to be used. The filename is relative to the rooDir as defined in WEB-INF/web.xml
styleurl: specifies the stylesheet which will style the elements. The filename is relative to the rooDir as defined in WEB-INF/web.xml
saveas: Under which filename should the result be stored. The filename is relative to the rooDir as defined in WEB-INF/web.xml

Every other parameter is passed through the xmlwebgui. This allows to preserve sessionids when switching from your application to xmlwebgui and back to your application.
