Consuming a remote portlet
We can select to consume remote portlets. To do so, we use the Manage Web Modules portlet. To consume a remote portlet, perform the following steps:
- Click Consume. The list of Producers is displayed.
- Select a Producer. We can search to locate a particular Producer. When we select the Producer, the list of portlets provided by that Producer is displayed.
- Select a portlet that we want consume as a remote portlet. We can search to locate a particular portlet.
- Click OK to continue, or Cancel to quit.
Results
When a Producer provides a portlet, only settings made in the Configure mode of the portlet are available for 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 portlet instance can be modified only on the Consumer. It is not visible on the Producer portal.
