Hi Yves,

That is just a hypothetical variable name that I made up for this  
example. It assumes that you have been able to pass a parameter to the  
revlet from the web page that calls it and you have put the parameter  
data into that variable. The variable could have any name you wanted.  
In the example I was proposing, you would pass the URL to the revlet,  
then parse the stack name out of the URL, leaving only the path to the  
revlet stack.

Regards,

Devin
