Consuming a .NET WSRP Portlet in Oracle WebLogic Portal
To consume remote portlet resources in Oracle WebLogic
Portal, you must create a Remote Portlet using either the IDE tools
(described here) or Oracle WebLogic Portal online administration tools.
Once created, Remote Portlets (.portlet files) can be added to a portal
description (.portal file).
To create the Remote Portlet using the Oracle WebLogic Portal
IDE tools, follow the steps below. For detailed instructions on using
these tools, see the Oracle WebLogic Portal documentation.
Note: In
order to produce portlets, the WSRP Producer must be installed and
correctly configured within the local IIS instance. You must know
the address of the WSRP Producer's WSRPService.wsdl file. The URL
will vary depending on how IIS is configured, but it should be similar
to the following: http://{wsrpproducer hostname:port}/wsrpproducer1.1/1.0/WSRPService.wsdl.
To ensure that the WSRP Producer is running, paste this URL into the
address bar of a web browser.
For detailed instructions on
creating a WSRP portlet in Oracle WebLogic Portal, see Creating
Remote Portlets, Pages and Books in the Oracle WebLogic documentation.
Oracle WebLogic Portal supports WSRP Preferences, but in
order to use preferences, the .portal file describing a portal desktop
in WebLogic Portal must be converted from "file" mode to "streaming"
mode. For details, see Creating a Desktop in the Oracle WebLogic
Portal documentation. Also, in order to modify preferences, a user
must be logged into the portal. See the Oracle WebLogic Portal documentation
for additional information on configuring login.
- Debugging WSRP PortletsTo debug WSRP portlets, use Oracle WebLogic Portal logging tools and check the list of common configuration problems.
