Portlet Container Vs Portal Server.

Hi Guys..

Could any one tell me some basic difference between Portlet Container and Portal Server.
I know like A Portlet container runs portlets and provides them with the required runtime environment. A portlet container contains portlets and manages their life cycles. It also provides persistent storage mechanisms for the portlet preferences while Portal Server provides suntime environment for integrating LDAP,CMS and other.

Could any one tell me some more and clear view point on above.

I would be very much thankful to you.

That's basically it. The portlet container implements the functionality per JSR-168 and JSR-286 that define the portlet specification.

The portal server is the surround supporting stuff to bring it all together. It's more than just LDAP and CMS, for Liferay it includes the theming engine, bridging frameworks for hosting portlets built using different technologies, services for messaging, shared data, etc.

To what end? I've been a Liferay developer for 9 years and didn't need to understand the line between the two or which category functionality should fall...

I ask because, depending upon your purpose, it may be more appropriate to suggest Liferay in Action for development, Portlets in Action for general JSR details, or some other reference.
