Installing Oracle Pagelet Producer (AKA Ensemble) on Windows

This post summarizes the steps for installing Oracle Pagelet producer (AKA Ensemble) 11g PS6 (11.1.1.6) on a Windows 2008 R2 platform.

Oracle Pagelet Producer acts as a proxy and allows to get HTML fragment from an existing application for reuse it in a different context (a portal for instance, or for syndication purpose in a B2B context).
This module is included in Oracle Webcenter Portal, and can be used in a standalone mode with a completely different technology than Java.
