Using Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) with WebLogic Portal 8.1 SP3
Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) is a web services standard created by OASIS that allows for the plug-n-play of visual, user-facing web services with portals or other intermediary web applications. Using WSRP, you have the presentation logic included in the web service. By providing a presentation oriented set of services, the aggregation of applications and services can be done dynamically. You no longer have the need to develop the presentation logic in order to do the integration. Nov. 3, 2004
