So it is become obvious that the: <entry name=""> Must be unique within the PortletRegistry (the name attribute that is). So the Portlet.getName() method will not be the classname instead will be this name. Also, I am going to put in the requirement that any Portlet that someone tries to instantiate *must* be in the Registry. This is better for security reasons (so that the user can't just instantiate any class in your system) but also helps when browsing because we can just resolve this name. I am adding another attribute to <entry> <attribute name="isAdmin" type="boolean" minOccurs="0"/> This will basically be for the Admin console so that it can look up Portlets but that these aren't allowed to be viewed by ordinary users. We can (if people think it is necessary) provide a Portlet.isAdmin() so that even the Portlet can *require* that other people besides admins can't view it.
