Custom JSP tags library. Two visual tags: Portal and Portlet. Body tag Portal generates a "standard" portal view as a set of columns from given pages (portlets). Body contains descriptions for portlets. Tag Portlet generates a "standard" view for an individual data element in the portal. This tag just wraps own body with a colored border and add title.

For example:

Simple portal from two columns:
 

and you will get the following picture:

The first portlet is here Your first information element

The second portlet is here Your second information element

You can define own parameters for the each column:
 

and you will get the following picture:

The first portlet is here You first information element

The second portlet is here Your second information element

When you describe portlet you may set JSP code as tag's body or as a parameter body
 

and you will get the following picture:

First line second line

or you may have some like this:

<port:Portlet border="1" body="your_body.jsp"/>

the same with your own title:
 

and you will get the following picture:
