Consuming portlets in a Consumer portal | HCL Digital Experience
After you create a Producer definition, you can proceed to consume the portlets that are provided by that Producer. This way, you integrate them into your Consumer portal as remote portlets.
About this task
To consume a remote portlet in your Consumer portal, you
can use either of the following tools:
- The Manage Web Modules portlet.
- The portal XML configuration interface. For more information about the XML configuration interface, read the appropriate topics.
Notes:
Proceed by selecting the appropriate topic from the following
links:- On the Consumer side, all remote portlets behave like standard API-compliant portlets, independent of their implementation on the Producer side.
- When a Producer provides a portlet, only settings that are made in the Configure mode of the portlet are available at the consumed remote portlet. Adding a remote portlet to a page on the Consumer side creates a new instance of the provided portlet on the Producer side. But this instance can be modified only on the Consumer and is not visible on the Producer portal.
- Customization of the consumed portlets by Consumer portal users can be exported by using the XML configuration interface.
