In a previous WebSphere Journal article, we introduced you to the Java
Specification Request for the portlet specification (JSR 168), which lays out
the plans for a standard for portlets that will enable them to be deployed to
any JSR 168 compliant portal.
In this article, we will further our study of portlet portability. In
