Hi Avseq,
That is one thing you can't do: direct linking to a portlet. Portlets are not like
Servlets.
The URL for a portlet is not specified in
web.xml as in case of Servlets. The portlet URL is not specified by the developer but created using methods defined in the
RenderResponse object or by using the
portletURL tag of portlet tag library. The Portlet URL chapter that you saw in the 2.0 spec, it deals with the different types of portlet URLs that you can create for a portlet to send it different
types of requests, like
RenderRequest,
ActionRequest and
ResourceRequest. Instead of directly linking to a portlet,
you should link to a portal page, which contains the portlet.
hope this helps.
regards
Ashish
