Kevin,
it's not that simple because there is (or at least should be) only one
portlet instance per entry in the portlet registry. For inter-portlet
communication, one portlet instance should only talk to another portlet
instance if they are run in the session. Maybe I am missing something, but I
don't think that's possible with just a singleton.
To me inter-portlet communication is one of last mysteries to be solved in
the portal space. My favorite thought is that by creating an event
mechanism, there will be a chance to introduce cross-portlet events for this
type of stuff. But I am still pretty blurry on this subject...
Cheers,
Thomas Boehme
