We have a webapplication as a front end to generate webfocus reports. In this we use the WFServlet from the WFClient to interact with the webfocus server. We would like to know is there any API available to interact with the webfocus server instead of through the servlet.

Earlier response would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can get an iWay Connector (it comes in a variety of flavors, ODBC, JDBC, etc.) that you could use to access the reporting server and get answers sets returned.

How about WebFOCUS Web Services.
This exists on the mid-tier.
Not sure if you want to bypass that.

If you don't mind me being curious, could you share why you would like to bypass the servlet?

Efrem,
Thanks, actually we want to expose our reports as Webservice only, Can you please throw more light on Webfocus Web Services.
Does this also uses WFServlet ?

WebFOCUS Web Services is built as part of the WebFOCUS client. The documentation can be downloaded from docservices.ibi.com . Usually customers use WebFOCUS Web Services when integration WebFOCUS in their own application built in tools like .NET or Java. Running WebFOCUS reports seems to be what customers are using the most. You would have the ability of making a WebFOCUS Report its own Web Service function or call a WebFOCUS report passing parameters to a generic Web Service function.
It DOES NOT bypass the WebFOCUS Client to get to the Reporting Server.
Hope this helps.
