I recently had my mind expanded by a new concept: Web Services for Remote Portlets, or WSRP. I learned of it during a presentation on a Java-based web portal we are considering purchasing at work; we are a .NET shop and WSRP would be the means by which we would extend this portal.

Although I cannot control the end decision as to whether or not we purchase the product, I can provide input as to how difficult it would be to build WSRP-compliant portlets. Unfortunately, my recent queries into the subject have turned up almost nill.

So I ask you, the SO community, the following: what libraries or frameworks are out there for building WSRP-compliant portlets in C#/.NET? What are some of the pros and cons of using WSRP in general?

Because there is no correct answer here, I will make this a community wiki post.

So far, I have only found the following:

Given that WSRP is on top of SOAP, this seems like a perfect candidate for a WCF binding and channel, and yet I see nothing on the subject, anywhere.

  1. If you read the WSRP spec carefully, you’ll find it is a remote version of the Java Portlet Specification (if I’m spelling that right). That means that it’s useful for integrating Java Portlets. Anything else will have to look like a Java Portlet, which is not very generic.
