missing a piece to complete the picture (getSet(........))

[ahmed shaheen]

hi all,
I have a problem with understanding the getSet(Portlets portlets, VariableInteger theCount) function in the JetspeedPortalToolkitService class.
1)why is it a recursive function ?
2)actualy it is return a PortletControl(PortletSetControl) not a PortletSet,!!i don't understand why?
3)what is the relation between the control and the controller,i means how are they executed with their template(jetspeed.vm,card.vm,...)
who calls getContent(rundata) for them?,which one of them is executed first?

sorry I may not be clear but i got confused when i reached this point of code.I successed to trace the the code till this point and extracting the following steps:-
-->>The turbine servlet is initialized
1-Initialize the primary services(Resources and logging)
2-Initialize the other services
-->>A request is received(a cycle for a request)
1-Create Rundata object
2-if this is the first invocation
-->call init(data) to intialize the services with the
rundata
3-Set screen and actionin the rundata
4-if the action is logout or login
-->refresh the session
5-Execute the JetspeedSessionValidator action
6-Execute the JetSpeedAccessController action
(The execution phase)
7-Get the default page and execute it
The page will do the following:
-Execute some tasks before an action is executed
-Execute an action
-Execute some tasks after an action was executed
-Get the layout from the screen and execute it.
The layout will execute:
-Top navigation
-Screen
-Bottom navigation
Note : The default(page,layout,screen,navigation) in
jetspeed
(written in TRP) are :
JetspeedVelocityPage
VelocityDirectLayout-->default.vm
VelocityDirectScreen-->home.vm
VelocityNavigation----> top.vm,
left.vm, bottom.vm
8-Remove the acl from the session if any module set it to null
9-Test and handle the redirectRequest
10-Return the used rundata object to the factory for recycling
i reached the home.vm and stop there due to the prev. function.

I hope that any body can help me plz:)
