The web application bridge

The web application bridge uses reverse proxy technology to integrate web-based content providers, such as the Microsoft SharePoint server, with HCL WebSphere Portal. An iFrame portlet renders the content. Users access the iFrame on a portal page, with no direct network access to the content provider required. iFrame portlet URIs are mapped to web-based content provider URIs.

The web application bridge can work, or not work, with any arbitrary web application. Outcomes vary, depending on the web-based content provider.

For those web applications that do not comply or are unable to work correctly, modify the application to support the integration through the web application bridge, or or add filters for processing the markup. When usinng the WAB, access HCL WebSphere Portal with the fully qualified host name.
