Hi,

I do not use any Websphere Server login and I do not use any LDAP. I just us
e stand-alone application login in portlet that just checks the database use
r and password tables.

Once I login, I need show some of the portal page URLs in theme navigation. 
And once I logout, I need hide these URLs in theme navigation. Can I use ses
sion to pass login status from portlet to theme, and then hide URL in theme?

Thanks very much in advance!

You can use the portal "if" tag to check if the user is logged in. In
your theme JSP, this could look like:
<portal-logic:if loggedIn="yes">
.. your URL...
</portal-logic:if>

This way, your URL should only be visible if the user is logged in. If
you need further details, have a look at the InfoCenter:

What I meant to say was that according to best practice the portlet should n
ot bother about the environment around, just itself. This due to the fact th
at the portlet developer never can be sure where the portlet will be deploye
d, and which other portlets
will be available on the site...
