Background documentationMinimizing Use of Public Sharing References Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If your application depends on another application or service, you need to reference this application by defining either a public or private sharing reference in the portalapp.xml. However, be aware that public sharing references cause redundant dependencies between portal applications, which may result in increasing application load with a high impact on performance, so consider the following rule:

  • If the referenced application, library or service has to be used in the API of the portal application, use a SharingReference.

  • If the reference is for an internal implementation of the portal application, use a PrivateSharingReference.

For more information, see Calling Java EE Applications from Portal Applications.

Note Note

The deployment and the runtime sharing references are not necessarily the same; make sure you adapt the references in each case separately.

End of the note.
