For a JSP response, it locates and dispatches to a rendering JSP page. The dsp:renderContentItem tag uses the ContentItemToRendererPath component to determine the path of the JSP page to include.

It sets an HttpServletRequest.contentItem attribute to the specified contentItem. This provides a well-known attribute for rendering pages to pull data from; however, this attribute is set for the duration of the include only.

contentItem (required) - The ContentItem to locate a rendering JSP page for. The value of the contentItem request attribute is also set to this ContentItem, for the duration of the include.

format (optional) – Specifies whether the response should be serialized into JSON or XML. Acceptable values are json or xml.

webApp (optional) - The web application that the include is relative to. By default, the current web application is used, but by passing another value in the webApp attribute, you can specify an include that is relative to a different web application. The value of webApp may either be the content root of the target web application (in which case, it must begin with a slash) or the display name of webApp (in which case, it is located via Oracle ATG’s WebAppRegistry; see the ATG Platform Programming Guide for more information on the WebAppRegistry).

var (optional) – The name of the request attribute to set. You can use var to override the default request attribute name of contentItem.
