Jira plugin configuration parameters

Question

Hi,
I have written jira plugin that calls a webservice and displays the results. I need to update the plugin that keeps webservice url as configuration parameter in either database or properties file instead of hardcoding in the code. So that user can edit the configuration parameter without updating the plugin's jar file. I searched the web but could not find any usefull information. 
Jira version number is 6.2

Can you advise, how I can achieve this.?

You can use the plugin settings component, which is available as part of the Atlassian SDK. See https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Storing+plugin+settings for more details.

Use webwork action to capture the configuration data and store it using Active Objects.
