I think I've worked it out, and now have a portlet embedded in my own
JSP without the PortalDriverServlet. Obviously now I'll put the servlet
straight back to do the clever stuff, but I've got a better
understanding of all the bits involved now, and can start moving forward.

Hi,
I've created and maintain a few web sites, and I'm looking at Pluto to
make developing the sites quicker and easier. At first I'd just like to
embed the container in the simplest way possible, but over time I'm
considering building up the portal side, much simpler than Jetspeed, and
tailored to my requirements.
I've got all the supplied wars installed and working, and have deployed
my test portlets, and am now starting to embed Pluto in my own project,
using David's documents as a guide. I currently have all the Spring
stuff in, including the Listeners and Servlets. So far so good(ish).
I'd like to know what the absolute minimum is for getting a portlet into
my site is. I was hoping that I could just use the Pluto taglib and
supply the context and portlet as params, but it looks a little more
complicated than that. Do all request need to be routed through the
PortalDriverServlet for example?
I appreciate this has been asked on this list before, but I haven't
found a step-by-step guide for complete beginners to just get a portlet
into an existing application in the simplest way possible, preferably
just using taglibs.
Many thanks in advance,
Digby
