- What conclusion can be done?
Portlet Local Remote WSRP
Portal-specific components and architecture

• To integrate application into Portal it is
  necessary
• to create a portlet
• to install application adaptor - on the portal
  side
• N-applications ? N-times to repeat the same
  procedure
• Portal platform and application allow this.
