an invoker role in AS is to take the invocation and make it travel to the server, it is splitted between the client and the server.
In my case, when the portlet creates a portlet URL which targets a portlet, let's say an action. The PortletURL object toString() method is responsible for creating a URL that will invoke the processAction() method on the component. So this represents an invocation. It has a target, the portlet ID, a server to send the invocation to and a bunch of parameters. So there is a need for a mechanism that takes all of these and creates a URL that will invoke the processAction() on the object with the specified parameters. That mechanism is on the PortletURL side responsible for creating the URL and it also sits in the servlet to receive the request/response, decodes the request (id and parameters) and invoke the portlet.
