Same here, we also do a portal product, but with focus on CMS. Our stuff provides all the nitty gritty about creating websites (structure, linking, navigation, templating, security, etc.) and developers then implement portlets to render whatever they want to render, or include content from some other system. If you want to build a website that has all of the above, but you're really only interested in doing "what the website is about" (e.g. accessing some backend system), then a portal/CMS system such as ours can vastly reduce cost and development time.
ALL of our own dynamic portlets are using WebWork, and use Velocity for about 90% of the HTML generation (the rest are either JSP or pure servlets/actions that do out.println).

Well, not necessarily. My company's main product is a portal app. What it provides is a bringing together of very many different things under one umbrella. The ability for clients to develop their own custom modules to encapsulate whatever functionality. The ability to add in their portlets, content management system, organisation of users and permissions and departments within the company, etc etc etc. All built on webwork and a number of other os tools, which the end developers very much in mind.

FWIW, I have some experience with the Oracle Portal suite. It was imposed from above as the tool for the project I'm "leading" at this moment: on the first project meeting I gave the project the Death March (tm) status for this very reason.
Can anybody explain the typical featureset of a portal server?
IMO, depriving the software engineers of any professionality, creativity, and passion.
Sorry, it's been a bad month...
