Thanks for the info Chris. This is a real bummer, kinda need this soon ... like I said, I'm real close to making it work. I'm able to page through the site in my new context and see all my portlet "placeholders", but their content all comes up "Reason: null". I'll keep trying and post to this list if I figure out how to get it done ... this is definately some type of initialization issue.

Unless I am mistaken, I don't think this has been fully implemented yet.
