title: Java Portlet API
body: <p>I am looking at the Java Portlet API for the first time and trying to decide on whether or not to consider using it.</p>
  
  <p>From the look of things, it looks like a technology that might be considered old school because i seem not to see very current references of its usages.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, would you consider using the Java Portlet API, more so when you are planning to develop an integrated web application consisting of modules that may themselves be separate applications of their own.</p>
