22-22 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter 23 Managing Portlet Producers 23-1 23 Managing Portlet Producers This chapter describes how to register, edit, delete, and deploy WSRP and Oracle PDK-Java portlet producers. System administrators can use Fusion Middleware Control or the WLST command-line tool to register and manage WSRP and Oracle PDK-Java portlet producers for WebCenter application deployments. Application administrators can also register and manage portlet producers at runtime through out-of-the-box administration pages or using the portlet producer task flow. This chapter includes the following sections: ■ Section 23.1, What You Should Know About Portlet Producers ■ Section 23.2, Registering WSRP Producers ■ Section 23.3, Testing WSRP Producer Connections ■ Section 23.4, Registering Oracle PDK-Java Producers ■ Section 23.5, Testing Oracle PDK-Java Producer Connections ■ Section 23.6, Editing Producer Registration Details ■ Section 23.7, Deregistering Producers ■ Section 23.8, Deploying Portlet Producer Applications ■ Section 23.9, Troubleshooting Portlet Producer Issues Audience The content of this chapter is intended for Fusion Middleware administrators users granted the Admin or Operator role through the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. For more information, see Section 1.13, Oracle WebCenter Administration Tools.

23.1 What You Should Know About Portlet Producers

Consider the following while working with portlet producers: Note: Pagelet producer registration is described in a different chapter. For details, see Section 24.2, Registering the Pagelet Producer . 23-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter ■ Several out-of-the-box producers are provided with Oracle WebCenter: OmniPortlet, Web Clipping, and WSRP Tools. The following EAR files are packaged with Oracle WebCenter: ■ portalTools.ear - OmniPortlet and Web Clipping ■ wsrp-tools.ear - WSRP Tools You can install the portalTools.ear and wsrp-tools.ear files using the registerOOTBProducers WLST command. For command syntax and examples, see registerOOTBProducers in the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. ■ Before users can add JSR 286 or Oracle PDK-Java portlets to a page, you must register the owning WSRP and Oracle PDK-Java producers. See also, registerSampleProducers in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Scripting Tool Command Reference. ■ The Oracle Portlet Producer product server must be installed in the production environment and the wsrp-tools and portalTools URLs must be accessible. If the Oracle Portlet Producer is not installed, see the section Extending an Existing Domain in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter to install it in the production environment. ■ When you create a connection to a portlet producer, the producer is registered with the WebCenter application and the connection is added to the connections.xml file. For WRSP producers, a Web service connection is also created, which follows the naming convention, connectionname-wsconn. For Oracle PDK-Java producers, an underlying URL connection is created, which follows the naming convention, connectionname-urlconn. During the registration, connection metadata is created in the Oracle Metadata Services MDS repository and in the producer being registered. When a producer is consumed, the user customizations are saved to the producer. During deregistration the producer connection and customizations are removed. ■ All post deployment connection configuration is stored in MDS. For more information, see Section 1.3.5, WebCenter Configuration Considerations. For detailed information about MDS, see the chapter Managing the Oracle Metadata Repository in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. ■ Portlet producer registration is dynamic. New portlet producers and updates to existing producers are immediately available in the WebCenter application; it is not necessary to restart the WebCenter application or the managed server. ■ To migrate producers from one instance to another, use the migration utilities described in the appendix Portlet Preference Store Migration Utilities in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle WebCenter. ■ For information on securing portlet producers, see Section 33.1, Securing a WSRP Producer and Section 33.2, Securing a PDK-Java Producer.

23.2 Registering WSRP Producers

This section describes how to register WSRP producers for a deployed application, using Fusion Middleware Control and WLST commands. This section includes the following subsections: ■ Section 23.2.1, Registering a WSRP Producer Using Fusion Middleware Control ■ Section 23.2.2, Registering a WSRP Producer Using WLST
