Thanks goes out to all that were able to attend last night's JavaOne BOF, "Dynamic Portals and Ajax in Portlets".  There was lots of good open discussion about the challenges and successes of implementing new dynamic portals with AJAX.  The slides are available here.  Below is a list of resources URLs for some of the topics we discussed.  Check back here and at GregZ's blog for new developments regarding AJAX in portals and portlets.

The new technical article "Best Practices for AJAX and JSR 168 Portlets" has just been published at developer.sun.com.  Check out this article for the latest ideas on how to best implement AJAX with JSR 168 portlets, and how to use JavaScript libraries like Dojo to add dynamic content to your portlets.
