1) As a generic web application, the portal container can serve other things such as static information using jsp fragments without going through portlet container.
2) If a dynamic web application is a portlet, the portal server gets the application response fragment (part of a browser page) through standard communication between portal container and portlet container (Pluto).
3) If you apply Request-Response framework (Commons-Chain) to different software layers: portal web-application layer, portlet container, presentation layer, you have a very clean process and can use different frameworks at each layer. For example, you can replace portal container and portlet container with any compliant container. Similarly, at the presentation layer, you can replace Tiles with other more appropriate presentation frameworks for the jobs.
4) Dynamic application developed under standard portlet can: (1) interact with other applications serving user personalized portals, (2) supply its services to other utility framework via WSRP, (3) enhance its features with other off-the-shelf features over the Internet via WSRP, (4) be a plug-and-play portlet application in any compliant portlet container.

Hi folks !
I am currently evaluating, if there are other methods than portlets to integrate content (by content also small forms like textfield + submit button e.g. are meant) from different sources, properly framed, into ONE html page. By different sources i mean with completely independent business logic(s).
What has to be done (simplified) is a page (again: only one page, no frames!) where at the top there is shown some information, like the latest news, and at the bottom there are two textfields, like 'Username' and 'Password', and one 'Login' button. But the developers of these two 'parts' shouldn't know from each other's part, they are developed completely independent and without respect to the other. The position of the two parts, here bottom and top, should be completely customizable.
I know, this is exactly what can be done with portlets, but i need to know if there is some other solution, possibly better suited for my needs ?
Thanks !
