Tags used by the portal JSPs
Learn about the most commonly used tags in the portal JSPs. Use these tags to modify the appearance and layout of the portal page.
The following links provide topics with summary descriptions of each tag - grouped by tag type. Each separate topic also provides more complete tag descriptions as well as code examples: Do not use portal tags in portlet JSPs.. The tags mentioned are only for use in theme and skin JSPs.
These tags can be found in the portal tag library located in the WebSphere Portal directory:
- portal-core tags - Used to provide portal core functionality such as entering the main render flow as well as URL-related aspects of the page.
- portal-dynamicui tags - Used to enable dynamic user interface features such as closing dynamic portlets and pages.
- portal-fmt tags - Used to provide enhanced portal formatting capabilities.
- portal-logic tags - Used to provide conditional logic.
- portal-navigation tags - Used to implement navigation tasks such as generating URLs and traversing the portal navigation model.
- portal-showtools tags - Used to provide administrative tools on the theme and skin level.
- portal-skin tags - Used to build a portlet title bar as well as make various functional icons available in the title bar.
- portal-theme-ext tags - Used to provide extended functionality to enhance the portal themes.
To use these tags, the following taglib declarations must be provided in the parent JSP of the theme:
- UNIX™: was_profile_root/installedApps/cell_name/wps.ear/wps.war/WEB-INF/tld
- i: /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/ND/profiles/profile_name/installedApps/cell_name/wps.ear/wps.war/WEB-INF/tld

The tags in the portal-internal.tld tag library are not intended for customization, but for use only by internal portal code.
The tags in the engine.tld and portal-internal.tld tag libraries are not intended for customization, but only to support backward compatibility and migration. The engine.tld tag library will not be available in subsequent releases of WebSphere Portal. See Migrate v6.0.1.x customized resources for more information.
