Abstract
A portal server requests a gadget from a gadget server. The gadget server makes a copy of the gadget. The gadget server accesses a value to be assigned to a variable for the portal server. The value can be received as part of the request for the gadget, or can be stored on the gadget server, associated with the portal server. Assuming that a policy permits the variable to be assigned the value, any previous value assigned to the variable is overridden. The copy of the gadget is then delivered to the portal server.
