<subsection name="Steps for Embedding Pluto">
<p>
<b>Step 1:</b> Implement <code>org.apache.pluto.PortletContainerServices</code>
</p>
<p>
<b>Step 2:</b> Manage the Portlet Container Lifecycle:
<ul>
<li>
Create an instance of the container:
<source><![CDATA[
//
// Step 1) Create and instance of the PortletContainerService
//
PortletContainerServices impl = . . .
//
// Step 2) Request a new container from the container factory
//
PortletContainerFactory factory =
PortletContainerFactory.getInstance();
PortletContainer container = factory.createContainer(
"My Container Name", impl
);
//
// Step 3) Initialize the Container with the embedding
// application's ServletContext
//
container.init(ctx);
]]></source>
</li>
<li>Destroy the Container during Shutdown.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>Step 3:</b> Invoke the Container as necessary:
<source><![CDATA[
// Load a portlet
container.doLoad(portletWindow, request, response);
// Process a Portlet Action
container.doAction(portletWindow, request, response);
// Render a portlet
container.doRender(portletWindow, request, response);
]]></source>
