How to create a remote portlet and consume in Webcenter portal application

In this post, we are going to discuss the way to create, deploy and consume a remote portlet

Step 1. How to create a remote portlet

Remote portlet can be anything, as simple as an ADF application.

Create an ADF application with the taskflow containing the required logic and create a portlet entry as shown as below.

Now, create a deployment profile and deploy the application as EAR (or just view controller as war) to the application server. And note down the deployment URL from the JDEV logging console as shown below

Open that link to get the WSDL to consume the created application as portlet. Choose the second URL as shown below (That give the WSDL URL of the application we just deployed and ready to be registered and consumed as portlet).

Step2 - Register the custom application as the remote portlet

Go to Tools and Services -> Portlet Producers section as shown below in the portal administration 

Click register and give the portlet name and the WSDL file of the portlet => You are all set at the producer side. The portlet is registered and is ready to be consumed.

Step 2. How to Consume a remote portlet

Go to the page on which we would like to consume the portlet and 

go to UI Components -> Portlets -> Choose your portlet as shown below.
