Web content delivery environments | HCL Digital Experience
A production delivery environment is the environment that hosts your website. If you have a HCL Web Content Manager only license, you can deliver your website without using HCL Portal features.
Pre-rendered delivery
Deploy a pre-rendered site when you are not using any HCL Portal features, such as portlets, and your content is static and is only updated periodically. When you set up a pre-render delivery environment, your complete website is converted to static HTML files.
Servlet delivery
A servlet delivered website is used when you do not need to use any portlet-based features such as authoring tools. In a servlet delivery environment, content is syndicated from the authoring server to the delivery server. The Web Content Manager servlet displays the content. Site visitors access the site through a web server.
Portlet delivery
Web content viewers are portlets that display content from a web content library as part of a portal page. If your presentation is simple, a single web content viewer can be sufficient. However, you can also use multiple web content viewers to aggregate content from different libraries and provide a richer experience for site visitors. A local web content view portlet is used to display content within your web content delivery environment.
Remote portlet delivery
WSRP support in the web content viewer is used to display content on a remote HCL Portal server or cluster.
