# Report Designer samples

The following samples show how to render Report Designer reports in various web applications.

## Execute a report from a HTML form (POSTing parameters)

This sample renders a Report Designer (PRPT) report by posting the report parameters to the report REST URL:

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

The POST request contains all parameters the report expects, plus the additional rendering parameter **output-target**, which controls the rendering format (HTML, PDF, XLS, etc.)

The following output formats are supported:

| **Option**                                                                         | **Purpose**                                                                       |

## Render a report in an IFRAME

This sample renders a PRPT 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 request contains all parameters as part of the URL.

## Render report viewer with available parameters and executed report

The sample renders the **Pentaho Report Viewer IU** by populating an HTML IFRAME with the report REST URL:

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

The request contains the initial report parameters as part of the URL.
