that would need a little bit from the three existing apps,
could the portlets from different web apps be easily integrated
within the new app? The three portlet apps were developed independently,
but may share some common data.

So, will there any further specifications on how the portlets be communicated even they are developed by different vendors?

Dear Jeff and Dave,
I would like to clarify on my understanding of session mgt of portlets.
For a single page, in case it contains, say, 3 portlets, then there should be 3 portlet sessions, isnt it?
However, as they are based on the same HTTP session, thus, the 3 portlet sessions in fact is based on that HTTP session, and data can be shared by the 3 portlets via the HTTP session, am I correct?
Thanks.
Nick
We have tried before but with no luck for this at all, when page refreshes, except the portlet that triggers the newly retrieved data, the data in the rest 3 portlets lost.![]()

For example, the "screen" contains 4 portlets, one for wheel, one for body, one for the inner structure, and one for color. If, say, I choose a wheel, a body, a type of structure, and color in grey, and then click submit, what should happen? All 4 portlets have been updated accordingly, or only one of them being updated, and the rest 3 data lost?

Thanks David.
However, what I needed is not just the confidentality. For example, a user goes to my page, which might forward him to a page contains stock code, a buy-sell screen, a/c balance, etc. However, the remote portlet requires a checking on authorization to see whether the user can do certain actions (query or update), so, SSL does not help in this case.
As we might need to use WSRP, thus, we are also thinking of using SAML as the security checking means. As far, I just wanna know whether there are other *natural* means for evaluation.

Dear Jeff and David,
Do you think, in upcoming versions for JSR 168 or supplementary JSR, they will introduce Global context, so that each portal application could be communicate with each other using this context?
