Currently, there are two versions of the WSRP standard, WSRP 1.0 and WSRP 2.0. WebSphere Portal supports both versions of the WSRP standard. We can use the WSRP implementation in WebSphere Portal v8.5 to do the following with the portal:

For Producer portals:

The WebSphere Portal producer can provide a portlet through WSRP 1.0, or 2.0, or both, depending on the API version of the portlet:

• The Producer can provide JSR 168 portlets through both WSRP V 1.0 and V 2.0.
• The Producer can provide JSR 286 portlets only through WSRP V 2.0.

For Consumer portals:

The WebSphere Portal consumer supports both WSRP V 1.0 and WSRP V 2.0 Producer portals. It can therefore consume both types of portlets: JSR 168 and JSR 286.

Currently, the producer implementation in the portal does not support the Registration interface of the WSRP specification. This interface is optional. However, the Consumer portal can handle Producers that support WSRP registration interfaces.
