Configuring and using the WSRP web part in Office SharePoint Server 2007 is not well documented (I couldn't find anything at all) but luckily I saw a thread on the subject on an internal technical discussion.

First you have to create a TrustedWSRPProducers.config file in the :\\Program Files\Microsoft Office Server\12.0\Config\ directory. There is a sample template file called TrustedWSRPProducers.xml.sample

To use the demo netunitysoftware provider, place the following in your config file.

<Configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/sps/2005/WSRP/Configuration" ProxyAddress="http://Your_Internet_Proxy:80">
<Producer Name="NetUnity" AllowScripts="true">
<ServiceDescriptionURL>http://wsrp.netunitysoftware.com:80/WSRPTestService/WSRPTestService.asmx</ServiceDescriptionURL>
<RegistrationURL>http://wsrp.netunitysoftware.com:80/WSRPTestService/WSRPTestService.asmx</RegistrationURL>
<MarkupURL>http://wsrp.netunitysoftware.com:80/WSRPTestService/WSRPTestService.asmx</MarkupURL>
<PortletManagementURL>http://wsrp.netunitysoftware.com:80/WSRPTestService/WSRPTestService.asmx</PortletManagementURL>
<!--SsoApplication Name="NetunityWSRP"/-->
</Producer>
</Configuration>

  • Thanks. I needed this pointer. Now only to figure out how to add a web part :)

  • Hello,

      Great Many Thanks.

    Any Idea how does the WSRP integration works between MOSS 2007 and SAP NetWeaver Portal?

     Or how to maintain the File (TrustedWSRPProducers.config) for SAP NetWeaver system.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Nazih

  • WSRP needed using NetUnity or other / consume statistical data from popular sports site / export to templated xml (element metadata creates datatables -- ex. <John Doe><BA>.315</BA><HR>17</HR><Team>Sox</Team></John Doe>).  Any ideas?

  • Doug, not doable. Try writing a webpart instead.

  • Anish,

    this doesn't seem to work for me. I created the TrustedWSRPProducers verbatim as you have it, but I get an error when I try to configure a WSRP web part that says

    'No WSRP producers are configured for this site. Contact your administrator to configure trusted WSRP producers.'

    Any idea why that might be?

  • when you add the wsrp from the web part gallery in sharePoint, how do I configure it?

  • Hi there,

    I have got a serious problem with WSRP Consumer webpart,

    That's about userContextKey, i do not know why but this webpart only uses displayName as userContextKey, it is unacceptable because with displayName, user can rechange it, and the displayName is not unique, can not be used as a userContextKey at all. Does any one know how to reconfig Sharepoint 2007 to use account name rather than using displayname as userContextKey

    PS: we can use SOAP Monitor to keep track the messages exchanged between consumer and producer

    Regards

  • Does anyone know where to find documentation on how to create/configure SSOAuthentication for WSRP in MOSS 2007?

    <!--SsoApplication Name="NetunityWSRP"/-->

    This exists in the sample config files, but I have not found any information on how to actually make it work.

    Thanks.

  • We're about to embark on adoption of a hosted SharePoint service and have a good bit of legacy investment in remote portlets.  WSRP looked like a possible option which would allow us to continue to control our own portlets rather than having to get custom web parts approved and deployed by the hosting provider.

    However, I've seen multiple comments that MOSS' implementation of a WSRP consumer is minimal at best (likely a byproduct of Microsoft's history related to support of potentially competitive standards), and fraught with problems.

    What's the word from people who have gone down this path ... were you able to make it work sufficiently for your needs?  What was producer platform you used?
