Portlet bridges
The Portlet Bridge is an implementation of the multiple-standard specification (for example, JSR-301) with added enhancements to support other web frameworks (such as, JSF, Struts, or Spring MVC), allowing any developer to get started quickly with their web application running in a portal environment. The good thing is that the developer no longer needs to worry about the underlying portlet development, portlet concepts, or the API.
