Java Specification Request is an offshoot of Java Community Process (JCP) that concerns itself with the development of the Java language to suit the different needs of the Java community.
Through JSR a company or a group of companies propose a specification describing a facility to be included in the Java language. Many JSRs have found their way into the language such as assertions and so on.
The latest among the JSRs in review stage is JSR 168 entitled Portlet Specification, submitted jointly by IBM and Sun Microsystems.
The specification's objective according to the JSR is:
To enable interoperability between Portlets and Portals, this specification will define a set of APIs for Portal computing addressing the areas of aggregation, personalization, presentation and security.
