  == Portlet Bridge for JavaServer Faces FAQ ==

+ === What is the Portlet Bridge and why is it useful to me? ===
+ [#BridgeValue permlink]
+ 
+ The Portlet Bridge for !JavaServer Faces is a technology that sits between a portlet container and the JSF runtime enabling JSF applications to be exposed and run as portlets.  By doing the heavy lifting of translating between the portlet runtime environment and that expected by JSF, the Portlet Bridge allows one to write an application once and run it in both the web (servlet) container and the portlet container.  Its even designed so that a single deployment can be run concurrently as a web application and a portlet appliction.
+ 
+ For JSF developers its value is it extends the reach of the developed JSF application into Portal environments.  For portlet developers its value is it provides an easy to use, modern, standard, application development/runtime platform in which to express your portlet functionality.
