DSPs are used to build browser-based clients (i.e., clients that use a web browser to retrieve documents). They allow you to construct a more secure and flexible user interface than can be built by directly invoking a service from a browser.

webMethods Integration Server Administrator is a good example of the type of user interface you can create with DSPs. The interface for this application is composed entirely of DSPs. You may want to refer to it for design ideas and examples of how to use particular tags. To examine the DSPs that make up the server’s user interface, look at the DSP files in the Integration Server_directory \packages\WmRoot\pub directory on your Integration Server.
