While it is recommended that you use the WSRP Configuration portlet to configure Consumers, eXo Platform provides an alternative way to configure consumers by editing the .xml file located at $GATEIN_HOME/lib/wsrp-consumer-$WSRP_VERSION.jar/conf/wsrp-consumers-config.xml.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

<deployments xmlns="http://www.gatein.org/xml/ns/gatein_wsrp_consumer_1_0"

             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

             xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.gatein.org/xml/ns/gatein_wsrp_consumer_1_0 http://www.jboss.org/portal/xsd/gatein_wsrp_consumer_1_0.xsd">

   <deployment>

      <wsrp-producer id="self" expiration-cache="300" ws-timeout="30000">

         <endpoint-wsdl-url>http://localhost:8080/wsrp-producer/v2/MarkupService?wsdl</endpoint-wsdl-url>

         <registration-data>

            <property>

               <name>email</name>

               <lang>en</lang>

               <value>example@example.com</value>

            </property>

         </registration-data>

      </wsrp-producer>

   </deployment>

   <deployment>

      <wsrp-producer id="oracle" expiration-cache="300">

         <endpoint-wsdl-url>http://portalstandards.oracle.com/portletapp/portlets?WSDL</endpoint-wsdl-url>

         <registration-data/>

      </wsrp-producer>

   </deployment>

</deployments>

The file as shown above specifies access to two producers: self, which consumes GateIn's own WSRP producer albeit in a version that assumes that the producer requires a value for an email registration property, and oracle, which consumes Oracle's public producer, both in configurations as shown in the walk-through above.

We will look at the details of the meaning of elements later on.
