Portlets are the core of webSphere Portal. Portles are individual applications that can be developed,deployed and managed independently.
Portlets have multiple states and diiferent modes. They can trigger events.
Portlets run inside a portlet container and can be depolyed or configured without stopping the server.
Portlets can run in different modes. When the portlet is intially displayed to the user, it is in the view mode.
When the user enters some data, it is in edit mode.Each portlet can be displayed in different states – normal,minimized (where the title bar alone is displayed),maximized (where the portal takes the whole page replacing the view of other portlets.
In RAD using the Portal Project, we can create a simple portlet and deploy it.
