Creating a Producer definition offline | HCL Digital Experience
When you create a Producer definition offline, be aware which information you must provide.
About this task
If you work offline, that is you cannot connect from your
Consumer portal to the Producer portal, you can use only the XML configuration
interface to create the Producer definition. In this case you specify
the following information:
- The endpoint address URLs to the Service Description and the Markup interfaces of the Producer.
- If the Producer supports the two optional WSRP interfaces Portlet Management and Registration, you specify them as well.
The XML configuration interface writes all parameters that you provide into the portal database. This includes all of the following information:
- The URL for the Producer's WSDL service definitions
- A name for the Producer definition
- A description for the Producer definition
- The registration handle that you received from the Producer by outside communication
- The registration properties
- The user attributes.
The portal transfers the user attributes and the registration handle to the Producer later when both of the following conditions apply:
- You work online, that is you can connect to the Producer portal.
- You update the portal configuration with an XML script that includes the scripting code for consuming a portlet.
The user attributes are sent to the Producer with every markup or action request, that is every time when a user interacts with a remote portlet of that Producer.
