Yes, portlets cannot see or take part in the rendering of another portlets content. However, portlets can communicate during the event phase when using a Portlet 2.0 compliant container (like Jetspeed). Thus one portlet can have some effect on the content of another portlet. For example, the out of the box demo (2.2.1) has a page that demonstrates two portlets communicating (an Address portlet and a Google Maps portlet). You can see it by logging on as admin and going here: http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/ui/finance/map.psml On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 10:48 PM, anyz <[email protected]> wrote: > Could someone confirms how J2 works to make a resultant PSML page.
