Use xmlaccess.sh to consume WSRP services from a Producer portal
You can use xmlaccess.sh to consume WSRP services from a Producer portal.
To consume a WSRP service by using xmlaccess.sh, specify the handle of the remote portlet and the Producer portal that provides the remote portlet. Specify this information by using the attributes remotehandle and wsrp-producerref with the servlet subtag. Both values are required to use the remote portlet. The remotehandle attribute is defined by the owner of the Producer portal. The owner of the Producer portal provides the handle to you by appropriate means, such as fax, phone, or email. If you cannot access this information, use external tools such as the Apache WSRP Open Source implementation to find out which WSRP services the Producer has to offer.
Producers with an IBM WebSphere Portal Producer can obtain this information by exporting all provided portlets on their Producer portal by using xmlaccess.sh.
subtag Attribute for the subtag Description servlet remotehandle As provided by the Producer servlet wsrpproducerref ID of the Producer
After successful integration, the remote portlets are available in the portal administration. They are handled in the same manner as local portlets.
Notes:To delete integrated remote portlets, use the Manage Web Modules portlet.
- You can consume a WSRP service only if you work online and can access the Producer's WSDL document.
- The WSRP implementation of the portal does not yet make use of public WSRP services registries, such as UDDI, to discover and consume WSRP services. Instead, it uses the discovery mechanism of WSRP services that is defined in the WSRP standard to obtain a list and descriptions of the WSRP services that a certain Producer provides.
- An integrated portlet is always treated as a standard API compliant portlet.
