Hey Michael,
How silly of me! Cayenne gives me a even simpler solution for this! Can I
use a Cayenne client on each portlet and create a cayenne server on a
servlet to receive their requests? this way all database communication is
done by the servlet and not by all portlets.
Could I also do this?
Thanx
