Web application bridge

The web application bridge uses reverse proxy technology to integrate web-based content providers, such as the Microsoft SharePoint server, with IBM® WebSphere® Portal.

Administrators must first create the content providers profiles, policies, and web dock applications. Content authors can add the applications to a page without requiring direct network access to the backend application. A special engine maps Uniform Resource Identifier (URIs) on the iFrame portlet to real URIs from the content providers.
