Hi,
I am just one of the guys who need to integrate JPivot into JBoss Portal.
I am using Pentaho PCI, I have all the stuff (reporting, dasboards) done
in portal but I don't know (and can't find anyone who knows) how to
integrate the analysis/OLAP part of Pentaho (based on JPivot) with JBoss
portal.
I would appreciate any information that could help me try this. I am using
the newese 1.7.0-GA version of Pentaho
thanks very much
regards, dejan

> 3. Design and Implementation Notes
> ----------------------------------
>
> The WCF framework that the JPivot framework uses has a
> RequestFilter as part of
> the core JPivot servlet configuration, that serves as a controller
> to route user
> interface operations to Listeners. The JSR 168 Portal server
> specification does
> not allow for something like servlet filters in a portlet. The
JPivotPortlet
> reimplements the RequestFilter in the portal server environment to
> allow WCF and
> JPivot to function.
>
> The charting, Excel and PDF functions in JPivot use servlets. The
> JPivotPortlet and
> supporting classes reimplement those functions as portlet actions.
>
> JPivot relies on specific stylesheets to display screens. The
> JPivotTheme provides
> a template that includes the needed stylesheets. This new theme
> needs to be made the
> default theme for the whole portal environment for JPivot to work.
>
> Minimal changes were required to JPivot and WCF in order to make
> this portlet work.
> Several tags had their definitions changed to allow JSP expression
> language parameters.
