Web application bridge integration
Use the web application bridge to integrate with web applications, such as Sharepoint.
The web application bridge uses reverse proxy technology to integrate web-based content providers, such as the Microsoft SharePoint server, with IBM WebSphere Portal. An iFrame portlet displays the content from the backend applications. Users access the iFrame on a portal page, with no direct network access to the content provider required. A special engine maps the Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) on the iFrame portlet to real URIs from the content providers.
Integrate the web application bridge with WebSphere Portal is a multistep process. First, create the content provider profile. Second, create at least one policy for each content provider profile. Then, create the web dock applications for the content providers. Finally, add the web dock application portlets to a new or existing page.
