# Making a Producer from a Non-Portal Web Application

You can turn a non-portal web application into a Producer Portlet. This is helpful when you want to make Java Page Flow or Struts applications available as remote producers. It is also helpful for converting applications created outside of WebLogic Workshop into producers.

To convert a non-portal web application into a producer, use this procedure:

1. If the application is currently not open in WebLogic Workshop, open a non-portal web application by selecting File>Open>Application (if it is already open, proceed to step 3).

   The Open Workshop Application window appears.

2. Navigate to and select the appropriate web project (a *.work file) and click Open.

   The project appears in the Workshop application tree.

3. Right-click the web application you want to convert to a producer and, from the submenu, select Install > WSRP Producer.

   The project will be installed as a producer.

4. Verify that the installation was successful by opening the WEB-INF folder and locating the file wsrp-producer-config.xml. If it is present, the project was successfully installed as a producer.
