Creating Java Portlets 6-27 Figure 6–18 Register Provider Page

6. In the Name field, enter the name of the provider. This 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 WSRP for your WSRP provider.

11. Click Next to display the Define Connection page

Figure 6–19 . 12. In the WSDL URL field, enter the WSDL URL for your provider. For example: http:myserver.com:8888my-portletportletsWSRPBaseService?WSDL Note: If a provider is unavailable for some reason, it can slow down the rendering of pages that contain portlets from that provider. By default, Oracle Portal waits until all portlets are returned before completing the page assembly. To avoid delays, you can set a time limit using the Page Assembly Timeout on the Main tab of the page properties. If Oracle Portal cannot retrieve the portlet from the provider within the specified timeout period, it will render the page without the portlet. If, at a later time, the provider becomes available, Oracle Portal refreshes the page, adding the missing portlets. In this way, page rendering is never halted due to the unavailability of a particular provider. For more information about Page Assembly Timeout, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Portal. 6-28 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Portal Figure 6–19 Define Connection Page

13. Click Next to display the Portal Registration Property Values page

Figure 6–20 . 14. Provide any registration properties required by the provider. If there are none, you can proceed to the next step. Figure 6–20 Provider Registration Property Values Page

15. Click Finish. You should see a Registration Confirmation page similar to the one

in Figure 6–21 . Note: A WSRP producer can contain portlets that work within the WLDL v1 or v2 framework. WLDL v1 portlets work in pre-11gR1 Oracle Portal releases. WSDL v2 portlets work in Oracle Portal 11gR1. When a WSRP producer containing v2 portlets is registered with its v1 URL, the portlet repository displays the v1 registration name and only the v1 portlets. So, when a WSRP producer containing only v2 portlets is registered with its v1 URL, the portlet repository displays only the registration name; it does not display any portlet.
