title: Alternatives to Portlets
body: <p>Are there any good alternatives to portlets that can be deployed in a Java EE server?  A search seems to only really suggest <a href="https://developers.google.com/gadgets/" rel="nofollow">Google Gadgets</a> which, please correct me if I'm wrong, need to be deployed on Google's servers.</p>
  
  <p>I want something that behaves like a portlet within my Java EE application - without the painful complexity of having to embed something like <a href="http://portals.apache.org/pluto/" rel="nofollow">Pluto</a>.</p>
