How Producer and Consumer portals communicate
The WSRP standard defines the communication interfaces between the Producer portal and the Consumer portal.
The Consumer portal requires information about a WSRP Producer in order to configure communication before consuming WSRP services. This includes the following information:
After receiving the required information from the Producer, the Consumer configures the Consumer portal accordingly before consuming the WSRP services as remote portlets. For example, if the Producer portal provides security for WSRP, the Consumer portal must have the same security setup for WSRP.
- The WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document. It is a service description document and provides the following information:
- It describes the WSRP services that the Producer provides.
- It defines the WSRP interfaces that the Producer uses.
- It provides technical information, such as the service endpoint addresses.
- The configuration of the Producer portal. This includes the security configuration for WSRP services on the Producer portal.
Depending on the overall WSRP setup, the Consumer might in turn provide information to the Producer.
