   A great book for learning about portlet development. The book focusses completely on the specification, taking you from the simplest, hello world type of portlet, to complex portlet configurations that creatively use portlet config and context objects. The book also goes into struts and JSF, just enough to get you started. I've never used struts or Java Server Faces before, but I was able to get the examples to work, and get a good idea of where these technologies would be powerful.
