WSRP publishing from SharePoint

I almost missed this, it turns out the SharePoint team have released a toolkit that allows you to publish lists and libraries through WSRP. We were already able to consume WSRP in SharePoint, but until now have not been able to publish back to other portal software.

From the SharePoint Team’s own blog;

External portal platforms (e.g. BEA AquaLogic Portal, IBM WebSphere Portal, SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal etc.) can then render SharePoint data natively through their WSRP consumer portlets.  The Toolkit is available now for download from the MSDN Code Gallery.

[...]

The Toolkit demonstrates two possible methods of exposing SharePoint data through the WSRP interface and is intended to provide a starting point for customers who are interested in surfacing SharePoint data in non Microsoft portal environments.  The first method focuses on maintaining high fidelity with the SharePoint user interface and the second method focuses on providing flexibility and control over the rendered output.  We are releasing the source code for the two methods under the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL), allowing developers to customize the solution to meet their specific requirements.

They also have a couple of videos that show the toolkit in action.

India’s Enterpriser describes SharePoint as now being more interoperable. We’re getting there!

    Great tool for us.

    Here, We have a tool called myDocs which is an add-in for Outlook, that lets us view SharePoint Document Libraries by clicking standard Outlook folders, and drag emails into these folders to upload into SharePoint.
