Thanks for explaining how you use it....
Think you absolutely right, having a standard in a large institution is
probably the governing concern.
Now that I know what a portlet is, the next time I stick a hidden field in a
form to control the backend logic and flow control, or include one JSP page
in another, its always going to get me thinking about portlets. Its
certainly interesting, in many ways I think programmers without even
thinking about it, are using "subliminal" portlets already.... take that to
the extremes of UI and biz logic separation, and you have portlets.
.... the frameworks built on top of tomcat seem to be endless, just when I
think I've seen it all, something else pops up, its no wonder this mailing
list is so good.

Subject: Re: PORTLET live site examples?
I just thought of a very speciffic example that might make what i was
saying clearer. Using the educational field again:
Just say you have a central student enrollment online system. Faculty A
just wants the student to fill out all forms, say Form 1, form 2 and form
3. However Faculty B says, we want Form 1, Form 2, Our funny form not in
your system, form 3. And Faculty C says We just want Form 1, and form 3.
Simply make all the forms Portlets, and put them in a portal. That way
depending on the student they can be shown different portlets.
This way no matter what strange and wacky way each of the clients in the
company want the students to enroll, we can accommodate it by having
everything turned into Portlets.
(Sorry I cant give you a live example, ours is very secure)
Best Regards,
Jacob
