WSRP Consumer

WSRP Consumers consume the WSRP services that Producer provide.

A WSRP Consumer is a portal that integrates WSRP services and consumes them as remote portlets from Producer portals that provide them.

The Consumer part of the WSRP implementation in the portal enables the portal to consume portlet applications or single portlets as WSRP services. The Consumer works as the "client" of the WSRP communication.

A WSRP Consumer selects the WSRP service and integrates it into the Consumer portal as a remote portlet. The Consumer portal requests and receives the markup from the remote WSRP service at the Producer portal and presents it to its users. This way, the Consumer portal can consume one or more WSRP services as remote portlets.
