Plan for WSRP
Before you work with WSRP, plan the configuration based on the information in the following topics.
We can consume portlets from a HCL WebSphere Portal or from a different WSRP Producer such as the IBM WSRP Version 2.0 Producer for IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Prerequisites for WSRP in the portal
To use WSRP with the portal, we must have the appropriate level of IBM WebSphere Application Server installed. Refer to HCL WebSphere Portal detailed system requirements to determine the WebSphere Application Server version required by your version of HCL WebSphere Portal.
- Supported portlet APIs Learn about how the WSRP implementation in HCL WebSphere Portal 8.5 supports different portlet APIs.
- Exchanging the required information between Producer and Consumer portals The WSRP standard defines the interfaces and the protocol for communication between the Producer portal and the Consumer portal. The Producer portals provide WSRP services that can be called to invoke provided portlets. The Consumer portals request WSRP services to call the remote portlets.
- Security for WSRP services HCL WebSphere Portal supports two security mechanisms for WSRP.
- How you work with WSRP in the portal To work with WSRP in the portal, you perform different administrative tasks. Some of these tasks depend on whether we use the portal as a Producer or Consumer portal.
