Re: How portlet communicate with other application

Portlets only exist in the context of a user session. If no one is 
viewing a page with that portlet on it, then the portlet does not exist.
This means that the concept of "sending data to a portlet" is not a good 
way to look at the problem.

One way to look at the problem is that the sending application has to 
put the data somewhere that the portlet can find it and act on it.

In a WebServices or remoting solution, the extended application would be 
running all the time with the data that the portlet wants (WebApp for 
example) and the portlet makes some sort of query to retrieve the data. 
You can use any remote access to do this and it is done the same way in 
a portal as in any other type of application.
The details are not really a question for this forum since it is not a 
portal question and you can read up on the remote solution that you 
select. We use Apache CXF but many other tools will work.

In a shared database solution, the extended app writes what it wants to 
share in a database or file and the portlet reads the data from wherever 
it has been written.
Once again, any number of database or file structures could be used. 
Portlets can read any kind of data that you can write.
