Person tagging client support
Person tags enhance the functions of collaborative portlets.
Person tags enhance the functions of collaborative portlets. In earlier versions of the product, person tags (Person pop-up menu) were implemented as server-side JavaServer Page tags with server-side processing. However, to support AJAX clients such as CPP and others, the product now supports person tags with a JavaScript API that can be called from the client. This new feature maintains the same functions as before, but enables JavaScript processing in the browser.
Collaborative Services are a set of methods and JavaServer Page tags that allow developers to add collaborative functions to their portlets. Collaborative functions such as menus or person links. The services are designed to provide naming, authentication, portal and custom services for portlets
When added to a custom portlet, a person tag causes people's names to appear as a hyperlink. The person tag provides only default actions, but you can add your own custom actions to the person menu in any portlet.
