Step 4: Create the Web Application

The sample remote portlet (HelloUserRemotePortlet) calls the Web application HelloUserWikExample. This application is enabled by SAS Foundation Services and runs outside of the portal Web application, either on the same machine or on another machine.

If an application is called from a remote portlet, then it must generate an HTML fragment to be displayed within the portlet borders. The JSP page for the HelloUserWikExample contains conditional code that determines whether the application request was generated by a portlet. The JSP page then generates the appropriate type of HTML.

The steps required to create the application are described in Sample Web Application (HelloUserWikExample).
