Web content delivery environments

A production delivery environment is the environment that hosts the website. If we have a IBM Web Content Manager-only license, we can deliver the website without using WebSphere Portal features.


Pre-rendered delivery

Deploy a pre-rendered site when we are not using any WebSphere Portal features, such as portlets, and the content is static and is only updated periodically. When we set up a pre-render delivery environment, the complete website is converted to static HTML files.

In a pre-rendered delivery environment, live items are syndicated from the authoring environment to the delivery environment. The content is converted into a set of static HTML files, which are then displayed to users through a web server.


Servlet delivery

A servlet delivered website is used when we do not need to use any portlet-based features such as authoring tools. In a servlet delivery environment, content is syndicated from the authoring server to the delivery server. The Web Content Manager servlet displays the content. Site visitors access the site through a web server.


Portlet delivery

Web content viewers are portlets that display content from a web content library as part of a portal page. If the presentation is simple, a single web content viewer can be sufficient. However, we can also use multiple web content viewers to aggregate content from different libraries and provide a richer experience for site visitors. A local web content view portlet is used to display content within the web content delivery environment.

In a portlet delivery environment, content is syndicated from the authoring server to the delivery server. It is displayed to users through a web content viewer portlet deployed on a portal server. When a local web content viewer is used, the web content viewer portlet is deployed on the same server as Web Content Manager.


Remote portlet delivery


WSRP support in the web content viewer is used to display content on a remote portal server or cluster.

In a remote portlet delivery environment, content is syndicated from the authoring server to a Web Content Manager server in the delivery environment. The web content viewer portlet is deployed on the WCM server. It is configured to communicate with the WSRP proxy portlet installed on a portal server in the delivery environment. Users view web content by accessing the proxy portlet on the remote portal server, typically through a web server.
