Creating a WSRP Consumer

To communicate with the portlets offered by the producer, a consumer needs to add a configured producer. The WSRP Consumer Admin portlet could be used for creating and managing WSRP Consumers. To create a consumer a producer WSDL URL is required. You can choose the WSDL URL from the "SampleProducer" created in the above step.

To create a WSRP Consumer

1. Click on the 'Connect to Producer' button from the 'Producers' tab in the 'WSRP Consumer Admin' portlet.

2. Provide the WSRP Producer WSDL URL and click Next.
