I have a requirement where I need to integrate OBIEE reports with my J2EE based web application. On going through the available documentation, I have understood there are various ways of integration. I am particularly looking for below two methods:
I wanted to know how will I get to know which web service to use and how. Also, what is the response format of web services, can it be a PDF or image document? I want to integrate using web services because I want control of the report document in my web application and store it in database or a DMS system or digitally sign it before providing it to end user.
How will I know the web service WSDL and pass the filter parameters in the web service request and also specify the response format of the report?
You can find the Web Services documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e16364/soa_overview.htm#BABHJJAC
Update:
From what I can see, the OBIEE web services don't support export to PDF/image.
If you want to work directly with PDFs, you might need to look at using BI Publisher (BIP) instead, which also supports Web Services. BI Publisher can query existing OBIEE analyses and RPDs. You can also call BIP directly from within a Java application using the available APIs.
