Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm aware of that we need a portal app to actually invoke a portlet. But what I'd like to know is, when a portal app is trying to invoke a portlet, how can pluto, the portlet container, get the opportunity to intercept the request? In the same spirit, how is the code in the pluto jar file get called so that it can read say WEB-INF/portlet.xml? -- Author of an e-Book for learning Tapestry (http://www.agileskills2.org/EWDT)
