Consuming a remote portlet
You can select to consume Web services from Producers as remote portlets. You do this by using the Manage Web Modules portlet.
Consume a remote portlet:
When a Producer provides a portlet, the portlet itself is provided, not an instance of it. Therefore only settings made in the Configure mode of the portlet are available at the consumed remote portlet. Adding a remote portlet to a page on the Consumer side creates a new instance of the provided portlet on the Producer side. But this instance can only be modified on the Consumer and is not visible on the Producer portal.
