ant create-component and websiteId

[Chris Snow-3]

When I create a component with "ant create-component", the web.xml contains:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>webSiteId</param-name>
        <param-value>EXAMPLE</param-value>
        <description>A unique ID used to look up the WebSite
entity</description>
    </context-param>

What is the main purpose for the webSiteId?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

Depends on the web-app, for the backend it typically just indicates the themes and information for URL generation.  For ecomm apps it also points to the product store in use.

For create-component it should really be parameterized.
