well, this is what I meant. Maybe just didn't express it very well ;-)

you mean the thread about several public pages?
Well, I still don't have a clear vision, how do separate .psml files fit
into the whole Jetspeed picture. We actually have all the functionality
within the single file system also. And in the case of separate files we
also need to store metainformation somewhere...
Coming back to your idea of achieving the application functionality with
some metadata... I think this is good: we could also attach some
metadata to the <portlets> tag and then we have the functionality of
having applications consiting of multiple portlets. What do others think
of this?

you lost me here...
what do you mean by "publishing PSML content as web content"?

ok, I'll check it out.
