Provide WSRP services as a Producer

After preparing the portal as a Producer portal, we can provide the portlets through WSRP. Providing portlets 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 being provided through WSRP. 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 XML configuration interface.

1. A Producer provides portlets, not portlet instances.

   Only settings made in the Configure mode of the portlet on the Producer portal are available at the consumed remote portlet. Adding a remote portlet to a page on the Consumer side might create a new instance of the provided portlet on the Producer side. This portlet instance can be modified only on the Consumer portal. It is not available for use 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:

• Use the Manage Portlets portlet to provide portlets through WSRP
  
• Use xmlaccess.sh to provide or withdraw a portlet
