Portlets and Web Service for Remote Portlets

Portlets and Web Service for Remote Portlets (WSRP) are available with Portal Server. Portlets are web components specifically designed to be aggregated in the context of a composite page. Java Specification Request (JSR) 168 specifies how portlets interact, how their life cycles are managed, and provides details of their semantics.

WSRP is a specification that defines a web service interface to access and interact with interactive presentation-oriented web service. WSRP is a standard to access and get the content using the portlets deployed in remote server using web services.
