A method for integrating remote portlets into a consumer portal that includes providing a list of remote portlet producers to a portlet palette within the consumer portal, automatically obtaining available remote portlets, via the portlet palette, using the provided list, storing information corresponding to the available remote portlets, in the portlet palette, merging information regarding local portlets and the available remote portlets to form an available portlet list on the portlet palette, allowing a user to view the available portlet list, receiving a selected available remote portlet from the available portlet list as selected by the user and performing a drag and drop operation of the selected remote portlet to a portal page on the consumer portal, and automatically creating a producer reference corresponding to a respective remote portlet producer associated with the selected remote portlet and a remote portlet reference corresponding to the selected remote portlet on the consumer portal.
