# Making a Producer from a Non-Portal Web Application

You can turn a non-portal web applications into a producer. This is helpful when you want to make Java Page Flow or Struts portlets available as remote portlets. 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 application (a *.work file) and click Open.

   The application appears in the Workshop application tree.

3. Right-click the web project 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 locating the file wsrp-producer-config.xml in the WEB-INF folder. If it is present, the project was successfully installed as a producer.
