Hi David,

Did you manage to write anything about it?

I'm just back from the christmas holidays and we're as stuck on this as
ever.

Also forgot to ask, so you know which libraries are needed for this to work?

Thanks Ben,

But i'm still unsure about what is the definition of the portal ID is. Is it
the context + portlet name?

Thanks,
Vackar

Hi,

Is there a tutorial avialable on how to do this?

BTW, this will be in the upcoming 1.1.3 release as well as future 1.2.x 
releases.

This is probably late, but I've just committed to trunk a filter that 
will simplify embedding a portlet, or two, or however many into a simple 
jsp page.

This filter enables you to simply use the pluto:portlet tags to hard 
code the path of your portlet into a jsp.  No configuration other than 
that and adding the filter config to your web.xml is requied.  see 
about.jsp in the portal app for an example.

Sorry, my wife kindly reminded me that it was the holidays and I should 
spend time with her and the kidos over the weekends --

I've set aside time tomorrow to get to some.  Sorry for the delay.
