of a page from wit

There is a comment in the generic layout reading:

<!-- insert header content that was possibly set by portlets on the page -->

This implies that you can add content between the and tags from within a portlet (or more than one). Some of my portlets require extra JavaScript or Style Sheet files and I need to be able to add them to the head element.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any methods for doing this in the Portlet API.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I started fighting with this problem last evening and (wouldn't you know it) found the answer as soon as I posted.

You can control header-content injection in the JBoss specific portlet descriptor (though I hadn't found it because I've been developing portable portlets).

Is there some way to access/change these settings programmatically?

This cannot be done programatically from within a portlet.

I was afraid of that ... maybe there will be a standardized mechanism in the next Portlet specification. I wanted to change renderers based on user privilege, but will have to look at another mechanism.

Thanks for the help Roy!
