/**
 * <span class="changed_modified_3_0">The</span> javax.portlet package defines the API 
 * for the Java Portlet Specification <span class="changed_modified_3_0">V3.0</span>.
 * <p>
 * A portlet is a Java technology based web component, managed by a portlet container,
 * that processes requests and generates dynamic content. Portlets provide a presentation
 * layer to Information Systems.
 * <p>
 * Portlets generate fragments of markup (e.g. HTML, XHTML, WML). A portal combines markup
 * fragments generated by different portlets into a portal page.
 * <p>
 * A portlet container manages the lifecyle of portlets. It also provides the required runtime environment.
 * <p>
 * Portlets are bundled in Portlet Applications as web applications using the WAR file format.
 * A portlet application consists of two deployment descriptors: one to specify
 * the web application resources (web.xml) and one to specify the portlet resources
 * (portlet.xml). The portlet.xml must follow the schema defined by the
 * http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd namespace.
