Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) and Application Syndication

In this chapter, we discuss the Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) standard. WSRP defines a standard way for portals to handle input and display for a portlet running on a remote portal server. With WSRP, one portal server (or a cluster) is responsible for hosting a portlet, and other portal servers can display the portlet as if it were installed locally. We present an overview of the WSRP standard, along with the steps you need to take as a portlet developer to use WSRP.
