Standard portlet API
The Java Portlet Specification addresses the requirements of aggregation, personalization, presentation, and security for portlets running in a portal environment. The purpose of the specification is to solve the problem of portlet compatibility between portal servers offered by different vendors.
WebSphere Portal includes a portlet runtime environment that supports portlets developed according to the Java Portlet Specification, hereafter called standard portlets. The portlet container for standard portlets is based on Pluto, which is the reference implementation for portlet containers supporting the Java Portlet Specification.
With WebSphere Portal there are some IBM specific parameters for portlets available.
The following topics provide specific information about the implementation of the standard portlet API within WebSphere Portal.
