Display content with Web Content Viewers

To display content developed with your Web content system, add a portlet called a Web Content Viewer to the server where you want the content to appear. If your presentation is simple, a single Web Content Viewer can be sufficient, but you can also use multiple Web Content Viewers to provide a richer experience for your users.

Depending on how you decide to deploy the servers in your environment, you can install a Web Content Viewer locally on the same portal server where Web Content Management is installed, or you can install it remotely on a different portal server.

• Use the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer

  The JSR 286 Web Content Viewer is the preferred Web Content Viewer for use with Web Content Management.

  In addition to providing improved performance and robust function for displaying Web content, the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer supports enhanced customization and site analysis features.

• Link Web Content Viewers

  Many Web Content Viewers can be added to a single portal page or a series of pages. Sometimes it will be necessary for different Web Content Viewers to interact with each other.

• Enable session handling with the traditional Web Content Viewer

  When working with traditional Web Content Viewers installed on remote servers, the default Web content session handling works by initiating a new Web content session for each Web Content Viewer instance on a page. This can cause performance issues if many users access a page containing a large number of remote Web Content Viewers.
