Preface

A federated portal is a portal that includes remotely distributed resources, including remote portlets, books, and pages. These remote resources are collected and brought together at runtime to a portal application called a consumer, which presents the federated portal to end users.

This guide describes how to plan, develop, assemble, and maintain federated WebLogic Portals.

Audience

This document is intended for portal and portlet developers, and portal administrators.
