Configure the Web Service Configuration portlet
Specify the maximum number of Producer definitions to view in the table, the maximum number of Producers to view on each page, and the user attributes to be passed to Producers by default.
Depending on the access rights, we can configure or edit some standard features. Both the Configure and the Edit Shared Settings modes offer you the same options, but with different consequences:
- Configure means set the defaults of how the standard features of the portlet are displayed for all users. The portal applies these default settings to all instances and for all users of the portlet. To configure the portlet, select the Configure option from the header bar of the portlet. The Configuration mode is displayed. We can also configure portlets using the Manage Portlets portlet under Administration.
- Edit the shared settings means that you customize how the standard features of the portlet are displayed. The portal applies these settings only to the instance of the portlet the user edits. To edit the portlet, select the Edit shared settings option from the header bar of the portlet. The Edit mode is displayed.
The configuration and edit options are shown in the following list:
- Never show more than this number of items
- This field is an input field. Use this field to specify the maximum number of Producers to be listed in the table.
- Number of items per page
- This field is an input field. Use this field to specify the maximum number of Producers to be listed on each page.
- Default URL to WSDL service definitions
- This field is an input field. Use this field to specify the default URL to the WSDL service definition in the New Producer panel.
- These user attributes should be the defaults passed to Producers
- This table lists user attributes with check boxes. Mark the check boxes for those user attributes to be passed to Producers by default.
To configure or edit the portlet:
- Hover the mouse over the portlet title bar and view the downward arrow.

To changes to an instance of the portlet for all users, click Edit Shared Settings. To make individual changes to the portlet, click Personalize. The panel for configuring, editing, or personalizing the portlet settings is displayed. For more information about the menu options, see the portal Information Center and search for portlet mode.
- Enter the data and make the selections as required.
- Click OK to save the configuration updates, or click Cancel if we do not want to save the updated configuration. The Web Service Configuration portlet returns to the main panel. We can also return by selecting Back from the portlet menu.
