Find below a sample dsp:form tag.    <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top">      <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/>      <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/>      <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/>    </dsp:form>   When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags.

ATG CA - different activity sources used @ BCC

Read about how a new link can be added in BCC home page @  http://tips4ufromsony.blogspot.com/2012/03/atg-ca-bcc-home-screen-how-to-add-new.html Normally an ActivitySource.properties file define the set of actions that it supports under a genericActivityDefinitionFile. But some ActivitySource.properties  define the actions  using the workflowActivityDefinitionFiles. For example consider the default "Content Administration" ,  "SearchAdministration",  " Merchanding "  and "Personalization" options in BCC homepage. Below I listed the ActivitySource.properties and other properties for these links. To get all these activitysource names, just take the / atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager  component @ dyn/admin. Content Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/activity/PublishingActivitySource genericActivityDefinitionFile Search Administration ActivitySource  --> /atg/bizui/...
