"The IBM portlet API extends the servlet API and many of the main interfaces (request, response, session). The standard portlet API does not extend the servlet API, but shares many of the same characteristics (see Relationship with the Servlet Specificati
on in the Java Portlet Specification). The standard portlet API takes advantage of much of the functionality provided by the servlet specification, such as deployment, classloading, web applications, web application lifecycle management, session managemen
t and request dispatching.
Standard portlets can call servlets and package them in the same portlet application. Portlets, servlets and JSPs within the same portlet application share the same classloader, application context and session."
