"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 w
ith the Servlet Specificati
on in the Java Portlet Specification). The standard portlet API takes advant
age of much of the functionality provided by the servlet specification, such
 as deployment, classloading, web applications, web application lifecycle ma
nagement, session managemen
t and request dispatching.

Standard portlets can call servlets and package them in the same portlet app
lication. Portlets, servlets and JSPs within the same portlet application sh
are the same classloader, application context and session."
