Content without portlet

[tulip]

I have a very basic question. Can we have content on the portal page without having a portlet ? in other words, do we need to have a portlet in order to display info on the portal page or we can have some control over the portal page and display content on it ?

Very crucial to know this for my project.Any suggestions/comments appreciated.

Thanks

If this is very crucial to your project I suggest asking on the appropriate forum. :-) Your question has nothing to do with JBoss Cache.
