Render Tags

Content Server renders content in three ways:

• By rendering pages and pagelets into static HTML files through the Export to Disk publishing method.

• By rendering pages and pagelets dynamically when a visitor requests them on a dynamic public site.

• By rendering assets in response to the Preview function on a management or development system.

CS determines how to render content by using an argument named rendermode, which has three valid settings:

• export - uses the Export to Disk publishing method to create static HTML files

• live - invokes Content Server to serve content dynamically

• preview - invokes Content Server to render a selected asset in a browser pointed at a management or development system

rendermode is set through the resargs of page entries in the SiteCatalog table. When CS-Direct creates page entries for templates, it sets rendermode as an argument in the resargs2 column for that entry and sets it to live. If you export or preview an asset that uses that template, CS-Direct sets rendermode to export or preview, as appropriate.

The render tags process your page and element requests and create URLs and arguments for URLs. Some of the tags (render:callelement and render:satellitepage , for example) function similarly tags that are available through Content Server or CS-Satellite. However, the render tags preserve the CS-Direct rendering environment and the variables needed in that environment without requiring additional code.

Note Each JSP file that includes render tags must have the following directive at the top: <%@ taglib prefix="render" uri="futuretense_cs/render.tld" %> If you use either render:satelliteblob or render:satellitepage tags, you open and close the file with a pair of satellite:tag tags. A JSP file that includes CS-Satellite JSP tags must have the following directive at its top: <%@ taglib prefix="satellite" uri="futuretense_cs/satellite.tld" %>
