The mashup portal works by
integrating application pages in the browser, and thus allows you to
add
application views from within your firewall to the portal, even though
the
Data Mashups server is outside the firewall.
Adding a Intranet Web Application to
your Portal
Page
Any application that provides a web
page can be integrated. You will only need to set the URL of the
web page to be integrated.
Of course, not all pages are suitable for a portal page. You will
want to pick web pages suitable for a portal. In some cases, your
web applications may provide summary pages that will be suitable for a
portal page.
For deeper integration with your Intranet applications,
e.g. using web services and SOA in your enterprise, you will need to
host the Applibase server product
inside your firewall.
