Published dynamic Component Presentations

Dynamic Component Presentations are different from embedded Component Presentations in that they are published separately and are not embedded on a Page. A dynamic Component Presentation can either be published as part of a Page or separately.

If a dynamic Component Presentation is part of a Page, the Component Presentation output is not included in the Page. The Page has a line of code which retrieves the appropriate content. If a dynamic Component Presentation is published separately from a Page, this content can be retrieved by the medium of choice once published.

You can publish Dynamic Component Presentations as:

  • XML fragments — structured text fragments that contain content but no formatting. (Note that the term "components" does not refer to Content Manager Components.)
  • HTML fragments — fragments that contain both content and markup.
  • Plain text fragments — fragments that contain both content and markup.
  • JSP, ASP or ASP.NET fragments — scripted fragments.
