Enterprise Portal Building Tools II

Oracle has proposed a Portal Framework built around "Portlets", which are a set of standard Java API's wrapping any existing information or application. The "Portlet" runs on the server (Oracle WebDB 3.0) and delivers a live area of HTML which can then be placed on the Portal site.
