A standard from OASIS called Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) is used
so portlets can be decoupled from a portal. In part one (JDJ, Volume. 13,
issue 3) of this article, we introduced the relevant standards and
specifications and then demonstrated WSRP’s capabilities by consuming a
WebSphere Portal portlet in WebLogic Portal.
In this second article, we’ll explore the reverse scenario by illustrating
