Personalization Server Framework files

Question

Hi,
I am using the framework files that comes with BEA Personalization Server
(i.e. header.jsp, error. jsp, etc.). I am hoping it will give me a jump
start
in developing the web site.
I am going through the code to understand what it is doing. I am stuck
with one thing in a file called header.jsp.
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.portal.tags.PortalTagConstants" %>
<% String HEADER_FORWARD = "HEADER_FORWARD"; %>
I am trying to figure out what "HEADER_FORWARD" does. I tried
to find out if this constant is declared in the Javadoc API, but yet
I can't find documentation on "PortalTagConstants"
Any help is appreciated... Thank you
Teddy

Hello,
The personilization server does seem to lack documentation, as for the tags,
the descriptions given are minimal.
I normally look at the use of the tags in the buy beans examples and try to
replicate what I believe the tags are doing in my own test portal. So far I
have had a fair amount of success. If you need any help regarding tag use
please feel free to post your questions to me but I can't garantee detailed
responses to general questions.
best regards hoos.

Hi,
I have gone through user guide tag documentation. It doesn't
get that much detail. All it says about the framework files is
one or two sentences for each file (e.g. portal.jsp file
is the default file for the portal)
Is there more documentation on it such as a flow chart
of how the code works?

Hello,
it looks like the jsp tags use this attribute to forward the user to the
correct page when they select a button like "home" from the header.
if you need more info read personalisation server user guide tag
specification or feel free to hassal me (it's 18.00 on friday I have togo!)
