Pagelets are hosted on a resource and are consumed by other resources via the pagelet adaptive tag.
Oracle Webcenter Pagelet Producer acts a proxy server, brokering transactions between client computers and external resources. Services on external resources communicate with the pagelet producer via HTTP.
For example, when a browser requests a page, the pagelet producer makes simultaneous requests to each external resource to retrieve the pagelet content for the page. The external resource reads the current users preference from the HTTP headers sent by the pagelet producer and sends back the appropriate HTML.
The syntax of communication between the pagelet producer and external resources is defined by CSP.
As long as the pagelet producer can connect to the external resource, users can view the content, even if they cannot access directly.
