The web portlet component is used to display web pages within a tab. It can be configured to show information or images from external sources such as internet web sites, corporate intranet systems, or any other source that can be accessed by specifying a URL.
The web portlet can be used to retrieve information relevant to an item from a target web server. The server retrieves specific information for each item using the web portlet. For example, a portfolio manager can use a web portlet to view information from another corporate management system enabling him to make informed decisions about the project.
