Exception while deploying developer sample content on a new portal on administration server. (#6339522)

Description:

The WSRP sample consumer creation uses WSDL URL of sample producer. Because of configuration issues, the portal configuration fails to deploy portal war on WebLogic administration server. Portal .war needs be deployed manually. Because the portal is not up during configuration, the sample consumer creation process fails to contact sample producer and therefore sample consumer configuration fails.

Solution:

Create a consumer manually and copy the Configured Producer ID of the newly created consumer to the sample portlet under WSRPSamplesTabPanelContainer.
