I (with my colleagues) am interested in the same thing. We are considering creating a new controller that would use Frames to lay out portlets, rather than a <table>.
I recognise that maybe it's less efficient in terms of the number of HTTP requests required, but the real issue for me is that someone might be in the middle of typing up a long entry into a textbox when another portlet needs to be refreshed. If all portlets were refreshed, this user would lose everything already typed - this doesn't allow the portlets to be very independent. If we get something working, I'll see if we can submit the code.

I thought there was a way to set the cache properties of each portlet so that the portal will only go to the portlet code if the cache is invalidated. Then to refresh a specific portlet, one would invalidate its cache. The other portlet contents would be retrieved from the portal cache. Is this not available?

Hi zy, the answer is: not at all. Due to the nature of the web server / browser communication, you always need to request a new page from the server and the server needs to send the whole page. You can obviously achieve the effect by leaving all the other portlets anchanged. But, to say this again, there is no way to request only part of a web page from the server (except frames, which you can't really use in jetspeed). Stefan Am Freitag, 25.
