I'm starting to stare at Pluto. It's got it's little "driver" portal in there as well as it's reference implementation of the 168 Portlet Container. I'm trying to figure out which parts go where.

For Jetspeed, we will use just the container, not the driver, right?

yes the container, not the portal implementation
however we communicate with the container using the same interfaces

Pluto wraps a servlet around each portlet that is deployed. More, it lets sets of portlets be deployed in their own .war file forming their own separate web application in Tomcat. Separate web applications have separate servlet context, class loader, etc. This seems to be part of the portlet spec, but I'm not sure.

Will Jetspeed do the wrapping of servlet around portlet and have each portlet app br a separate web application like Pluto does?

already does

Is this part of the throw away driver or the core container?

the pluto portal code exists under the source branch "src/portal"
the container is under "src/container" branch

I think it may be a cool way to accomplish separate webapps for portlets, but I'm still thinking about it...

this is the way that jetspeed-2 works today
one difference is that j2 uses one servlet to handle all portlets
