Java portlets started to become popular after the first version of the Java Portlet Specification, the Java Specification Request (JSR) 168, was finished in 2003 at the Java Community Processes. Since then, nearly all the vendors in the Java portal space, both commercial an open-source vendors, have implemented this standard, and developers have written portlets using the Java Portlet API.
The JSR 168, however, stoppend at defining the overall UI component model and did not define any means for building integrated composite applications out of these components. This limitation, and many other things that didn't make it into V1.0 due to time constraints, is now addressed in V2.0. The final version of JSR 268 was submitted in February 2008.
The presentation gives a wrap-up of JSR 168 and introduces the main new features in JSR 268.
