Hi,

Can anyone tell how to call Report Castor scheduling API using javascript. I have sample code for Java not for Javascript.
Is it possible to call the API using Javascript? If anyone has sample code, can you share it? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Lakshmi

I'm going to say no on this one.

Can you please explain what you are trying to do. Maybe we can suggest an appropriate direction once we know what problem or issue you are trying to solve.

User wants to automate sheduling reports. I am thinking when a button pressed on the report selection HTML page I can invoke the API , pass parameters and schedule the report.

When the user clicks the HTML button, you can call a jsp page to call your Reportcaster API using the Java code you have.

Search this forum. There are a number of JSP examples already posted that will do what you are asking. You might want to PM Francis Mariani, as I believe he has a full example using the new APIs he might be willing to share. You could also open a case with NY, as another JSP example is shipped with the product. I remember seeing some simple doc from NY a couple of years ago that showed how to implement.

As for servlets, who ever told you that you can not use servlets in 7.1 is misinformed.

That tech memo is exactly what you're looking for. Please note (as mentioned in the doc) that there is a "Schedule" capability that must be enabled for the users in order for them to use this. Note that you don't call API's from Javascript - it's not the same thing as Java so the use of a JSP is necessary.


Regards,

Darin
