To get all the properties in a Map
<z:property zimlet="com_zimbra_ymap" action="list" var="propMap"/>
Then the iteration of the map will return all the properties
<%
Map prop = (Map) pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute("propMap");

When scope is omitted, it will first look at the site config, then global config and look for the first match.

Returns all the config in a Map.
<z:zimletconfig zimlet="com_zimbra_bugz" action="list" var="conf"/>

Map conf = (Map) pageContext.getRequest().getAttribute("conf");
Map gconf = (Map) conf.get("global");
Map lconf = (Map) conf.get("local");
for (Iterator iter = gconf.entrySet().iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)iter.next();
String key = (String)entry.getKey();
String val = (String)entry.getValue();
}
