Understanding WSRP
This part of the guide covers the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne portal solution for Oracle WebCenter 11g based on the Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) standards. Refer to EnterpriseOne Portal Solutions Overview in this guide for other portal solutions available with EnterpriseOne. This solution is only available for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Application Release 9.0 with Tools Release 8.98.3 and beyond.
Two foundational terminologies in 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, the Oracle WebCenter is the WSRP consumer that is used to display and group multiple JD Edwards EnterpriseOne portlets as well as portlets provided by other WSRP producers.
