4.6 Core objectsPortlets are descendents of HttpServlets and as such inherit much of the basic functionality from that class. However, as illustrated in 4.3, Servlets versus portlets, there are some key differences. This section will introduce many of the key objects in the portlet API. This section is not intended to replace the javadoc and therefore will discuss the primary function of certain objects and some of their key methods. The complete javadoc for the portlet API can be found in the \WebSphere\PortalServer\app\wps.ear\wps.war\doc\Javadoc\WPS directory.
