WSRP The Standard
OASIS managed Standard
Current Version is 1.0
Web Services For Remote Portlets
WSRP v1.1 - planned for early-mid 2004
WSRP v2.0 - planned for early-mid 2005

Overview
Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) has defined a standard for interactive, presentation-oriented web services.
WSRP defines:
A WSDL interface description for invocation of WSRP services
Semantics for interacting with WSRP services that can not be expressed in WSDL.
Markup fragment rules for markup emitted by WSRP services
Companies involved with WSRP:
BEA, Bowstreet, Citrix, Commerce One, Computer Associates, CrossWeave, Divine, Drake Certivo, Factiva, France Telecom, Fujitsu, Gluecode, HP, IBM, Interwoven, Kinzan, Lexis-Nexis, Lotus, MacDonald Bradley, Microsoft, Moravia IT, Netegrity, Novell, Oracle, Peoplesoft, Perficient, Plumtree, Reed Elsevier, SAP, SeeBeyond, Silverstream, Stellent, Sun Microsystems, Sybase, Tibco , Vignette, WebCollage

WSRP Goals
Enable interactive , presentation-oriented web services to be easily plugged into standards-compliant portals
Ensure concepts and data exchanged are aligned with other standards in both the portal and web service arenas.
Make the Internet a marketplace of visual web services, ready to be integrated into portals

Scenario: Use of WSRP in Portals
Portals can aggregate presentation from many WSRP services
WSRP services can be aware of portal context
User profile from portal
Desired locale and markup-type
Active user agent
Aggregated HTML, WML, VoiceXML, ... over HTTP Mark-Up Fragments Transferred via SOAP Portal WSRP Service WSRP Service WSRP Service WSRP Consumer WSRP Producer

Scenario: Portal sharing Portlets
Users of the second portal (WSRP Consumer) can select remote portlets like any local portlet and put them on their pages
In this case, the portal providing a portlet as a WSRP service adheres to the WSRP protocol and contracts just like any other WSRP Producer service
Server Portal Portals Huge number of users Portals as Intermediaries, Caching offloads requests from WSRP Producer Publishing Portal WSRP Interface Portals Portals Portal Portlet Portlet Portlet WSRP Consumer WSRP Producer

Scenario: Use of WSRP in Client Apps
Applications may embed WSRP Services through plugin mechanisms, e.g. COM Components or ActiveX Controls
In this case, the plugin in the client application adheres to the WSRP protocol and contracts as a WSRP Consumer
Rendering within client application ‘ s view User Info, Actions, Markup Fragments Transferred via SOAP Application (e.g. Word, Outlook, ...) WSRP Service WSRP Service WSRP Service WSRP Consumer WSRP Producer

WSRP and Portlet API(s) Web Services for Remote Portals (WSRP) Java Portlet API (JSR 168) C# “ Portlet API “ (.NET) . . . Platform Independent Web Service Interface Platform specific, local Portlet APIs Portlet APIs may be defined for different programming languages; WSRP can bridge between the different platforms, leveraging platform independence of Web services Goal: Portlets written to Portlet API(s) can be published as WSRP services WSRP Impl. on plain J2EE or .NET platform
