Action sequence samples

The following samples show how to embed an action sequence into other web applications.

Run an action sequence to generate a report

This sample renders an XACTION report using a regular GET request, by populating an HTML IFRAME with the report REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/*<path>*/generatedContent?*<parameters>*

The parameters for the xaction are passed as simple GET parameters on the URL.

Run an action sequence to generate a report with prompts

The sample prepares a form to collect parameters and POSTs them to the xaction REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/*<path>*/generatedContent

The XACTION now retrieves its parameters from the POST request body.
