Abstract
The present invention discloses a method allowing dynamically integrating remote portlets into each Portal by providing local portlets as remote portlet Web-Services by providing, to each Portal-Server, a publishing functionality allowing electronic creation of a service description for each single local portlet and publishing it into a Central-Registry and a find/binding functionality to find remote portlet Web-Services via the Central-Registry and bind them using the service description for accessing the remote portlet. Preferably, each Portal-Server includes a Portlet-Registry component as well as a Portlet-Proxy. The Portlet-Registry provides service description to the Portlet-Proxy that establishes a SOAP-communication with a remote Portal-Server providing the remote portlet Web-Service to be selected. The main advantage of the present invention is that local portlets become available for all Portal-Server without requiring local installation of the portlet code itself. Furthermore, new remote portlets can be included into a portal by finding them in a registry and binding them.
