Feed

Feed is a data model used by the Amazon Marketplace Component and implemented as such in Dovetail. To be able to dynamically set some properties Dovetail provides specific DovetailAmazon headers, defined as below. In addition to the settings shown in the component, the component expects the Amazon Feed XML in the body of the exchange aswell.
