HI Ian....

JspDynPage is used when u segregate the <b>controller</b> from the <b>Presentation</b>

it represents the MVC architecture....

u have the <b>Model</b> to control data flow.....and jsp to present (<b>View</b>) and JspDynPage as the <b>Controller</b>...........

thats how it works...

where as the Abstract Portal Component doesnt follow this architecture.....

u write the presentation sa well as the business logic completely in the <b>doContent() </b>method......

it depends on ur choice as to which method to follow based on ur requirements or business logic...

Now..as to call the jsp from an Abstract Component....u can get the HttpServletRequest from the IportalcomponentRequest...and the use it to sendRedirect() to a jsp page....

hope this helps....

When you want to display your interface within JSP page you must use JspDynpage

When you want to display directly Strings it´s easier to use the doContent event of a AbstractPortalComponent.

If you want to use a jsp file use a JspDynpage.
