There are two taglibs which we are including every time when we create portlet.

   <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0" prefix="portlet" %>

<portlet:defineObjects />

The above statements will give 14 default objects :

actionRequest, actionResponse,    eventRequest,  eventResponse, portletConfig, portletName,    portletPreferences, portletPreferencesValues, portletSession, portletSessionScope, renderRequest, renderResponse, resourceRequest, resourceResponse

and the type of each object as follows :

javax.portlet.ActionRequest actionRequest ;
