Sorry I misunderstood. I thought it seemed easy, but I try not to discrimate difficult questions over easy. They're all equal afaic. To do that I would recommend writing a controlling portlet that uses the PortletFactory to dynamically create your portlets. The downside is that you don't get any customizable layout within your container portlet. If it were me I'd try to somehow leverage the existing engine and use PSML references if at all possible. Or perhaps enhancing the AggregatePortlet. The real problem I see is that aggregation is based on PSML. You would need to create your own aggregation engine based on ... Im not sure what your requirements are If this is the case, look at how Jetspeed creates PortletSets from the PSML model, and try taking that code as a basis for your new engine -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
