Introduction to Web Services for Remote Portlets (IBM developerWorks)

[Posted April 19, 2005 by cook]

Bryan Castle introduces WSRP on IBM developerWorks. "Get an introduction to Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP), a specification which defines how to leverage SOAP-based Web services that generate mark-up fragments within a portal application. By defining a set of common interfaces, WSRP allows portals to display remotely-running portlets inside their pages without requiring any additional programming by the portal developers. To the end-user, it appears that the portlet is running locally within their portal, but in reality the portlet resides in a remotely-running portlet container, and interaction occurs through the exchange of SOAP messages."
