"Portlets are web components like servlets, but have additional, special properties that allow them to easily plug into and run in enclosing web applications like portals. Portlets are designed to be aggregatable in the larger context of composite pages, e.g. multiple instances of the same portlet parameterized with different per-user, per-instance portlet data can coexist on the same portal page. Usually, many portlets are invoked in the course of handling a single request to aggregate their respective produced markup fragments in a page of markup. The markup fragments generated by portlets often need to contain links to trigger actions in the portlet, therefore URL-rewriting methods are required that allow portlets to transparently create links within the markup fragments they output, without needing to know how URLs are structured in the particular web application." -- Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
