Results
Note: When a Producer provides a portlet, only settings that
are made in the Configure mode of the portlet are available for the
consumed remote portlet. Adding a remote portlet to a page on the
Consumer side creates a new instance of the provided portlet on the
Producer side. But this portlet instance can be modified only on the
Consumer. It is not visible on the Producer portal.
