Abstract
A web services system enables web servers to serve pages that utilize remote portlets. A consumer system serves pages that utilize remote portlets stored on one or more producer systems. An improved user interface enables a user to select a portlet from a page on a producer system and drag the portlet to a page on a consumer system. This action causes configuration information for the portlet to be transferred to the consumer system, which can then utilize the portlet as a remote portlet. When a user accesses a page utilizing a remote portlet, the consumer system contacts the producer system, obtains content for the page and presents the page to the user.
