A portlet is an entity that can produce output in HTML or XML/XSL. Portlets form the fundamental building blocks of a portal page. Each portal page consists of content presented through one or more portlets and links that allow the user to navigate to another page to take some action. Portlets communicate with the portal through an entity called a provider. The provider ID uniquely identifies a provider with the portal. The portlet ID uniquely identifies the portlet within the provider. It is the responsibility of the provider to ensure that each portlet has a unique portlet ID. It is only the combination of provider_id and portlet_id that uniquely identifies a particular portlet.
