title: Please discuss what are and why use portlets
body: <p>Why would I want to use java portlets above tomcat and gwt?
  Would portlets make it less- or un- necessary for me to use jsp and jsf?
  Has Jboss been part of the portlet evolution culture? Does Jboss satisfy the portlet jsrs?</p>
  
  <p>What portlet implementation/brand would run on gae java and gae python?
  Are portlet specs due to peer pressure from php cms culture?</p>
  
  <p>What are the equivalent of portlet and portlet jsr in .net?</p>
