But they thought! Please, read it

Basically, JSR-168 states that a portlet application isA servlet
application, and that you can define servlets and static content in it.
You have the whole servlet spec around to solve this (download servlet,
filters, etc.)

Re: your authentication&authorization problem, the session and the
request are shared if the servlet and the portlet are in the same
webapp, so you have basically all you need.

The problem is not with the spec, it is (for what you said) with (some
versions of) WebSphere portal server implementation of it. I don't know
WPS, so I can't assess if this is true, but pluto and jetspeed allow
servlets in webapps.
