Use the Web Service Configuration portlet to work with Producer definitions online

We can use the Web Service Configuration portlet to create a Producer definition.

Create the Producer definition using the Web Service Configuration portlet works only if both the Producer portal and the Consumer portal are online. The Consumer portal can connect to the Producer portal and to all files referenced in the Producer's WSDL service definition. If one of the portals is offline, to create a Producer definition on the Consumer portal, use xmlaccess.sh.

When creating a new Producer definition, you do the following tasks:

1. Define the name for the new Producer definition.
2. Give a description for the Producer definition.
3. Specify the URL for the WSDL service description document of the Producer portal.
4. Specify the registration handle for the Producer.
5. Set registration properties for the Producer definition.
6. Set user attributes to be passed on to the Producer.
7. Set language-specific names and descriptions for the Producer definition.
8. Assign access permission to the portal users on a Producer definition.
9. Delete a Producer definition from the portal.

After creating a Producer definition, we can proceed to using the portlets that are provided by that Producer, that is, integrating them into the Consumer portal as remote portlets.
