Configure the external files

CHA has separated the WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit initialization into two parts: the initialization of CHA server and CHA facade. Both the CHA server and CHA facade need the Initialization to read the configuration settings into memory and to create the pre-required data structures for the runtime.

However, CHA server has to initialize predefined application data additionally. CHA server can be initialized through two ways: Startup bean and Remote way.

The initialization of CHA facade is encapsulated implicitly in some APIs of "com.ibm.btt.base.Context". But the CHA facade can be initialized explicitly with the constructor of "com.ibm.btt.base.Metadata".

Note: CHA server should be initialized before CHA facade.
