Creating Java Portlets 6-43 To register providers for your Oracle PDK-Java portlets: 1. Open Oracle Portal and log in. Note that to register your provider, you need to have Manage or Edit privileges on providers. If you do not have these privileges, you need to request them from your administrator.

2. If you are not already on the Portal Builder page, click the Builder link in the

upper right corner.

3. Click the Administer tab.

4. Click the Portlets sub tab.

5. In the Remote Providers portlet, click Register a Provider to display the Register

Provider page.

6. In the Name field, enter the name of the provider. The name must not be more

than 200 characters or contain spaces or other special characters.

7. In the Display Name field, enter a name to display for the provider when it is

referenced, for example in the Portlet Repository. The display name must not be more than 200 characters.

8. In the Timeout field, enter the number of seconds Oracle Portal should try to

connect to the provider before displaying the timeout message.

9. In the Timeout Message field, enter the message to display when Oracle Portal

cannot establish contact with the provider within the number of seconds specified in the Timeout field. The message displays within the body of the portlet. The message may not contain HTML or mobileXML.

10. From the Implementation Style list, select Web.

11. Click Next to display the Define Connection page

Figure 6–34 Note: When you build portlets and providers with built-in tools, such as the Portlet Builder, Oracle Portal automatically registers the provider for you. Once youve created your portlet, it automatically displays in the Portlet Repository. Oracle Portal also offers built-in portlets that are contained in a preconfigured provider. For example, OmniPortlet and Web Clipping are portlets that you can use out of the box, and are already registered with Oracle Portal. You can view these portlets in the Add Portlets list. However, if you build the portlets and providers programmatically, you must then register these providers in order to make them available to the portal user.
