Example
The following example uses the wcf:metadata tag within a JSP fragment. The changeControl metadata properties for a particular catalog object are retrieved and stored in the propertyMap variable. Then, if the modifiable property is available, its value is used for further processing:
<wcf:metadata	 showVerb="${show}" 
 businessObject="${catalog}" 
 usage="changeControl" 
 var="propertyMap"/>

<c:if test="${!empty propertyMap.modifiable}">
	<changeControlModifiable><![CDATA[${propertyMap.modifiable}]]></changeControlModifiable>
</c:if>
This code produces an output similar to the following example:
<metadata usage="changeControl">
	<modifiable>true</modifiable>
	<logonID>wcsadmin</logonID>
</metadata>
