2 Understanding WSRP

This chapter helps you understand WSRP.

2.1 Understanding WSRP

Two foundational terminologies in Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) standards are Producer and Consumer. The Producer is a web service that offers one or more portlets and implements various WSRP interfaces and operations. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne solution, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HTML Web Server is the WSRP producer.

The Consumer is a web service client that invokes producer-offered WSRP web services and provides an environment for users to interact with portlets offered by one or more producers. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne solution, IBM WebSphere Portal Oracle WebCenter are the WSRP consumers that are used to display and group multiple JD Edwards EnterpriseOne portlets as well as portlets provided by other WSRP producers.
