How can I use the Web Services Development Kit to integrate MicroStrategy reports and analyses with my client application?
The following are the high-level steps required to deploy a MicroStrategy report as a Web service and integrate it with your client application: • Ensure your MicroStrategy project and MicroStrategy Intelligence Server and MicroStrategy Web are working properly. • Ensure the web server or application server housing the Java Servlet container (for example, Apache/Tomcat, IBM® WebSphere®, or Oracle WebLogic™) is working properly. • Install and implement the SOAP interface to enable SOAP calls. • Deploy the Report Web services container as a SOAP service. Sample code for this container is included in the Web Services Development Kit. • Make use of Web services from the client application via further development (Test it with the sample client application provided). The above is intended as a high-level roadmap. In deploying a production application, issues such as security, required scalability and optimal caching configurations need to be further considered.
