Example Deployment Descriptor for a Remote Portlet

Remote portlets are portlets that execute outside of the portal container. You can use remote portlets to incorporate data from external applications into the portal Web application. When a user interacts with a remote portlet, the remote portlet appears to be the same as a local portlet.

Many of the elements in the portlet deployment descriptor DTD relate only to local portlets. Therefore, a portlet deployment descriptor for a remote portlet requires fewer elements than a descriptor for a local portlet.

An example of a portlet deployment descriptor for a remote portlet follows. You can use this example as a template for creating portlet deployment descriptors for your own remote portlets. Simply replace the element values with your own values as appropriate.
