PortletPage provides some features that WebPage does not have, for example different portlet modes (EDIT/VIEW/HELP), different window states (MINIMIZED/MAXIMIZED/NORMAL), but otherwise WebPage and PortletPage are basically the same. All the components developed to the WebPage work fine on PortletPage, so you can use WebPage for testing you code and for reusability panels are a good choice. There are some limitations, for example client properties are not available, and full header contribution is not possible (because the portlet spec does not support it). > > Following this doubt: will it be so easy to create the portlet from > the webapp as translating from WebPage to PortletPage? Yes. As long as you don't use the unsupported features mentioned above. And of course you can't use portlet specific stuff like window states in WebPage. > And last, why doesn't PortletPage extends WebPage? Has it any sense, > you tell me. This is because WebPage is so tightly coupled with servlet stuff, WebSession, WebRequest and others, so it would have needed too much API breaks to be a sensible choice to do at 1.2. Also, it also made the API much clearer. Janne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
