Performing remote rendering with WSRP and the JSR 286 web content viewer

To display web content on a portal that does not have Web Content Manager installed, you can use the JSR 286 web content viewer and the portal's WSRP support. The web content viewer can then retrieve and display content from a web content system on a different server.

When using the JSR 286 web content viewer for remote rendering with WSRP, the remote web content server acts as the WSRP Producer and the portal with the web content viewer acts as the WSRP Consumer.

  1. Set up the WSRP environment between the Producer portal and the Consumer portal, as described in Use WSRP Services. If you plan to use the Edit Shared Settings or Configure modes in the portlet with WSRP, also configure web service security between the Producer and the Consumer portals.

  2. Provide the JSR 286 web content viewer portlet as a WSRP service hosted on the remote web content server acting as the WSRP Producer.

  3. Consume the remote web content viewer provided as a WSRP service on the portal acting as the WSRP Consumer.

  4. Configure the web content viewer to display content, just as you would configure a local web content viewer.

      When using the web content viewer with WSRP, settings that enable you to select content from a web content library display content from the remote web content system.

      Any resources required by the web content viewer, such as resource bundle files or context processor plug-ins, must be available on the remote web content server acting as the WSRP Producer.

      Limitations when using WSRP with the web content viewer:

      • Because the concept of pages and Web content pages does not exist in WSRP, you cannot use the dynamic link broadcasting feature with web content pages. When specifying how links should be broadcast, do not select Dynamically select a web content page in the Broadcast links to field. Selecting this option has the same effect as broadcasting links to the current page.

      • The use of authoring tools components or remote authoring action URLs in web content is not supported with WSRP.

      • All tagging and rating features for web content are not supported with WSRP.

      • Personalization elements using selection rules based on the federated documents resource collection cannot be used with WSRP.
