OpenWGA 7.1 - WebTML reference

This WebTML tag reads diverse metadata fields from the current WebTML execution context. This may be metadata fields of the current context document, the current application, the logged in user or the current request.

See the available metadata fields in the WebTML metadata reference.

Provide the type you want to retrieve via attribute "type". Omitting it will use the type "content".

There are some additional types that do not read "classical" WebTML metadata, named "system" (for Java system variables) and "taginfo" (for WebTML tag information).
