Provide WSRP services as a Producer

After you have prepared the portal as a Producer portal, we can provide the portlets as WSRP services. This makes them available to Consumers. They can integrate them into their Consumer portals and use them as remote portlets. We can also withdraw portlets from WSRP service. This cancels the services provided by the portlets. Consumer portals can then no longer use them.

To provide or withdraw a portlet for WSRP services, we can use either of the following options:

• The portal administration portlet Manage Portlets.

• The portal xmlaccess.sh. For more information about xmlaccess.sh refer to the appropriate topics.

1. 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.

2. Customization of the Producer portlets by Consumer portal users can be exported using xmlaccess.sh.

Proceed by selecting the appropriate topic from the following links:
