smska как то спрашивала, что такое портал
In general, a portal (otherwise known as a web portal) is a web-based application that, typically, provides personalization, authentication, and content aggregation from different sources, and hosts the presentation layer of information systems. Aggregation is the action of integrating content from different sources within a web page. A portal may have sophisticated personalization features to provide customized content to users. Portal pages may have a different set of portlets creating content for different users.
In brief, a portlet is an application that provides a specific piece of content to be included as part of a portal page. It is managed by a portlet container that processes requests and generates dynamic content. Actually, the portlets are used by portals as pluggable user interface components.
