Somehow, the Cocoon portal has to know which JSR-168 portlets are available and this search mechanism tries to look through all mounted webapps and extracts the portlet information (if available). Now, a nicer solution would be if we have a deployment tool where you drop your portlet war file into, the portlets are registered and Cocoon does not need to scan all webapps
