-Know the portlet webapp exists-Determine the location of the portlet.xml file and parse it along with the web.xml -Have a location to dispatch requests to that portlet to, if there was no servlet how could a portal in another webapp target the portlet?
All portals I am aware of do some similar sort of web.xml modification when deploying portlet webapps to their container.

Hmm, after examining what it generates, it seems wrap your portlet in a pluto servlet...

I have found this, but it doesn't really answer my question - from the AssembleMojo javadoc: * The AssembleMojo is responsible for assembling a web application for deployment * into the Pluto portlet container.

I'm just trying to learn portlets. What exactly does the maven portlet deployment do? I'm talking about the one in the source code distribution, deploy directory. I'm using it to deploy my portlet applications, as per the pluto site docs, and it works, but I want to know what it does?----- ___________________________http://stubbisms.wordpress.com http://stubbisms.wordpress.com
