[12:53:18 CST(-0600)] <dd> i'm using the email preview portlet and it says it is JSR-168 ready. from what i understand about JSR-168, is that the portlet should be loading asynchronously? the problem i am having is that for users with larger inboxes, it takes the email portlet awhile to render the preview and causes the entire portal to hang (no scrolling or interacting) while it reads the user's inbox

[12:53:47 CST(-0600)] <dd> is there something i am missing?

[12:54:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the portlet specs have nothing specifically to do with sync vs async

[12:54:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that is up to the application

[12:54:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just like standard servlet apps

[12:54:38 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you can do both sync and async work

[12:56:26 CST(-0600)] <dd> so it would just come down to how each portlet handles it? because the calendar portlet loads fine and asynchronously loads its events without hanging the portal

[12:56:33 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> yes
