public Properties getDefaultChannelSettings () 

This method must return the properties that will be used by default for business objects communicating through the channel. The non-null value should generally be returned if there are settings for the channel that are editable by the user in the Configuration Tool. The returned values will be used to initialize the channel settings in the user interface. The specific names of the properties are up to the channel to define – as long as the same names are used by the Channel Settings Editor and in the initialization of the corresponding Sources and Sinks – see Implementing Channel’s Source and Sink and Implementing Channel Settings Editor). If the channel does not support any settings null should be returned. If the channel settings are supported but the initialization with blank values is required, the blank Properties object should be returned.
