Example

<rfa config="$ESP_REUTERS_HOME/config/rfasub.cfg"
        sessionName="Session1" />

This example points the Reuters Marketfeed adapter to the Reuters-side configuration in the file rfasub.cfg. The list line in this configuration file is:

\Sessions\Session1\connectionList =                     "Connection_SSLED"

This line defines a session name that is referenced by other lines in the configuration file. When the map file references a session name in the sessionName attribute, it links the adapter to the Reuters-side configuration parameters identified by that name.
