Hi,

Can we create WSRP compliant producer portlets using Spring portlet MVC ?

Not directly. Typically you would take a JSR-168 portlet (which you can create with Spring Portlet MVC) and then put it into a container that will expose that portlet via a WSRP Producer layer. This is how the WSRP4J library is intended to work and I believe there are some portals that are using WSRP4J to do this. There is an active project right now to produce a Pluto 1.1 based version of WSRP4J, which should make it much easier for portals using Pluto 1.1 to add WSRP Producer abilities. In the commercial world, I believe Oracle's OC4J platform is a JSR-168 Portlet Container with WSRP 1.0 Producer abilities -- not sure about the other commercial vendors, but I'm sure there are other JSR-168-based WSRP Producer platforms out there.
