Portlet Include code in V8

What's the difference between including the portlet in these two different ways and which is the preferrred one in V8?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/taglib/vgnExtTemplatingPortal.tld" prefix="page"%><%

        request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.name", "name");         request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.scope", "template");        request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.types","VgnExtContentSelectComponent");        request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.xslOverrideUri", null);        request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.jspOverrideUri", "Path to the jsp");        request.setAttribute("com.vignette.ext.templating.portlet.region.displayInContextEdit", true);

        %>
        <page:include-page urlContext="/vgn-ext-templating" pagePath="/in_line/contentRegion.jsp" /></div>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<vgn-portal:renderPortlet portletFriendlyID="portlet_friendly_id">
<vgn-portal:onRenderSuccess>
<vgn-portal:insertPortletContent />
</vgn-portal:onRenderSuccess>
<vgn-portal:onRenderFailure></vgn-portal:onRenderFailure>
</vgn-portal:renderPortlet>

 

Can both of them be used on one page? Would there be any conflict?

Thanks
Rahul

Those two things aren't functionally equivalent, so they're not interchangeable.  The first example uses the Dynamic Portal Tag Library to create a content region.  This is a DPM concept, and not a generic way to add portlets to a page.  See the DPM Developer's Guide for information on this.

The second example uses the Portal Tag library to include a portlet.  See the Portal Developer's Guide for information.

Can both be used on the same page?  Yes.  Would there be any conflicts?  In general I wouldn't think so.
