Portlets are pluggable user interface components that are managed and displayed in a web portal. Portlets produce fragments of markup code that are aggregated into a portal page. Typically, following the desktop metaphor, a portal page is displayed as a collection of non-overlapping portlet windows, where each portlet window displays a portlet. Hence a portlet (or collection of portlets) resembles a ...

24. portlet content caching    coderanch.com

Developers write small content pieces called Portlets. Clients decide which portlets should be displayed on a page. When the portal server, such as WebSphere Portal Server, or JetSpeed, runs, the portal looks at the client, looks at the portlets the client wants to see, and checks all the variuos security settings, and shoots out an aggregated portal page to the client. ...

33. Inter portlet Call    coderanch.com

Wow, you asked a loaded question. One option is to use Jetspeed legacy messaging, but that's gone away with JSR-168. Another way is to have the 'second' portlet read some data placed in a shared session. Portlets in the same portlet app can potentially share their session space, but if the two portlets are in different wars, you're out of luck. ...
