Step 3: Create the Display Page

JSP pages are the presentation components of portlets. This is the source code for the FormExample portlet's JSP page, called FormExample.jsp.

This JSP page uses SAS custom tags, which are available with SAS AppDev Studio. For more information, see Creating the Presentation JSP Page.
