[Mondrian] RESTful web service

[Julian Hyde]

There have been some other replies suggesting you look at CDA and xmla4js.
You should definitely look into those.
 
Also:
 
Note that mondrian's XMLA server can now return results in JSON format (in
addition to XML). (See
<http://julianhyde.blogspot.com/2010/01/xmla4js.html>
http://julianhyde.blogspot.com/2010/01/xmla4js.html and the comment thread
following it.)
 
If you are building something from scratch, I suggest you build on top of
olap4j rather than mondrian's legacy API.

Subject: [Mondrian] RESTful web service



I'm building a RESTful Mondrian web service. The service will accept GET
requests containing MDX or our legacy query format. The request will return
XML, CSV, or a JSON format compatible with Google's interactive time series
graphs. I'm using Spring MVC with an XSLT view so I can easily map the
result to the desired output format.

 

I can think of two general approaches that I might take. One would be to
generate XML from the Mondrian "Result" object using JAXB or an equivalent
mechanism. The other would be to tap into Mondrian's XML/A capability at
some level. I'm not sure what the best way is to go about either of these
approaches. Is there another alternative I have not thought of?

 

Please respond if this isn't the correct venue for this type of question.

 

Thanks,

Kim
