Difference between portlet:renderURL and portlet:actionURL tags

[Padma priya Gururajan]

Hi,
Can you tell me the difference between portlet:renderURL and portlet:actionURL tags?
With regards,
Padma priya N.G.

Using actionURL creates a ActionURL, which on use fires an ActionRequest and your processAction() gets invoked for the portlet.

renderURL creates a RenderURL, which triggers a RenderRequest and the render() (and associated methods like the "do" methods) get executed.
