What is a portlet container and where will I find one?
A portlet container runs portlets and provides them with the required runtime environment. A portlet container contains portlets and manages their lifecycle. It also provides persistent storage for portlet preferences. A portlet container receives requests from the portal to execute requests on the portlets hosted by it.A portlet container is not responsible for aggregating the content produced by the portlets. It is the responsibility of the portal to handle the aggregation. A portal and a portlet container can be built together as a single component of an application suite or as two separate components of a portal application.
