But it is out of the portlet spec's. And you will write portlets that are not jsr-168 complient. In some cases it is the only way to go. anonymous wrote : | Let's pass to word example (Excel is not my best :-) ).I imagine, instead, that the portal is the Word software, while my portelt is a word document tha can contain several page; now in word when i use an hypertextual link i can go from a page to another page...well what i want is to obtain this thing. You are misleading yourself here, Word application is a portlet not a portal, windows is a portal.
... Also don't forget that portlet just the presentation layer. So nobody stopping you from having your business logic in (EJB, POJO, ....). It means that you can have more that 1 portlet to present your application data. The simple scenario is to have MyPortletRegistry in ServletContext (or session, depending on your architecture) that have knowledge about all your portlets. Now you define for each your portlet a role, since portlet name can be changed by an administrator you have to keep pairs role=name in order to get needed portlet. Each portlet will register itself with MyPortletRegistry, and you can query this registry for a portlet name with wanted portlet role. And as soon you know portlet name you can construct portal link that will display needed portlet. But be carefull this is a hack. Personally, I belive that portal must have portlet registry, and portlet specs should define such fiunctionality. Since portal is a container I should be able to query it for needed component.
