fyi: Portlets

"Portlets are web components like servlets, but have additional, 
special properties that allow them to easily plug into and run in 
enclosing web applications like portals. Portlets are designed to 
be aggregatable in the larger context of composite pages, e.g. 
multiple instances of the same portlet parameterized with
different per-user, per-instance portlet data can coexist on the 
same portal page.
Usually, many portlets are invoked in the course of handling a 
single request to aggregate their respective produced markup 
fragments in a page of markup. The markup fragments generated by 
portlets often need to contain links to trigger actions in the 
portlet, therefore URL-rewriting methods are required that allow 
portlets to transparently create links within the markup 
fragments they output, without needing to know how URLs are 
structured in the particular web application."
