CSS for WSRP Struts Portlets

Question

I have a Struts 1.3 Portlet running in WLP 10.3.2. The css inside JSP displays right in a web-app. But when I expose over WSRP, the css is not getting applied.
Here is the simple jsp I have:
test.jsp
<style type="text/css">
.test{
border: 2px solid red;
background-color : blue;
</style>
<span class="test">CSS Testing</span>
Qn. 2)
Do I need to have html,head and body tags for Portlets that I want to expose over WSRP?
Qn3) Do I need to go for render dependencies here..

Answer 1

Just in case you haven't seen this, I will add in this doc link as well on how to configure render dependencies in the portlet.

I haven't done this with a struts portlet, but in my example, the .portlet file on the producer would have a
"lafDependciesUri=/test.dependencies" with the css code you posted in it.
So the "test.portlet" file on the producer would have something like this:
<netuix:portlet definitonLabel="myportlet" title="simple test" lafDependenciesUri="/yourpath/test.dependencies">
</netuix:portlet>
then on the consumer side, the proxy portlet ".portlet" file would have something like:
<netuix:proxyPortlet>
invokeRenderDependencies="true"
</netuix:proxyPortlet>
this should allow the proxy portlet to obtain render dependencies from the producer during prerender lifecycle.
