What Is a WSRP Producer?

A WSRP producer offers locally deployed portlets for remote deployment. A remotely deployed WSRP consumer can connect to the producer, and can use the portlets offered by the producer.

A portal can host multiple producers. The consumer can import remote portlets offered by a producer. You can create one or more producers. A producer can optionally require registration. If a producer supports registration, then consumers must register to work with the producer.
