>From your description, it looks like you are describing a portal where you would assembly together multiple "UI services"/"SOA Face(let)s". This is probably one of the ideas we had with Tuscany Widget, that can allow you to define JavaScript references to remote SCA Services. But so far we have examples in standalone web 2.0 applications (see tutorial/store particularly store-mashup); but we haven't tried to integrate these in a open source portal platform, which shouldn't be very hard. > My respective question is: > > 1.
