Person JSP tag

The people awareness feature of WebSphere® Portal is coded with the person JSP tag.

The syntax and behavior of the person tag differs between WebSphere Portal v5.0 and v5.1.
WebSphere Portal v5.0 person tag syntax:
<person value="value attribute">display name</person>
where value attribute is the unique ID that is sent to the Sametime® server.The content of the person tag, display name, is used as the display name on the JSP page. If the value attribute is not specified, display name is used as the value attribute.
WebSphere Portal v5.1 person tag syntax:
<person 
value="value attribute" 
valueType="valueType attribute" 
displayName="displayName attribute"></person>
where value attribute is the unique ID that is sent to the Sametime server; valueType is the type of value specified for value; and displayName is used as the display name on the JSP page. Values for valueType are listed below:
  • LDAPDN (the default value)
