In portlets, processAction() methods are automatically followed by render method and hence ajax response will get embedded with HTML fragment generated by render method. So writing ajax in portlets is a bit tricky.

Have a look at this blog of mine.

http://ajax-and-portlets.blogspot.com/2011/09/ajax-best-practice-in-portlets.html

It gives an insight view of what's the best practice to implement ajax in portlets (for both JSR-168 and JSR-286 portlets).

In case you want sample portlets, you can contact me through the contact details from the blog. I'll be happy to help you.

Thanks Jignesh
