Hi, This is what I have understood:
(a) You have a Reports Generating Application (BIWeb) - already written. (b) You are writting an application (c) BIWeb requires user credentials to browse (d) Your application also requires user credentials to browse (e) You want your application to interact with BIWeb This is what I would suggest: (a) Use the user-database of BIWeb to authenticate users (both your application and BIWeb will use the same user-base). (b) When a user needs to login to your appliation, authentication happens against BIWeb DB (maybe using the request servlet) and necessary details are stored in your application context (after request forward the authentication confirmation to your application). (c) If your application requires BIWeb's reports, pass the login details to a servlet in BIWeb. (d) BIWeb will render all reports you request, after validating the user details sent above (The catch is you need to send the user details for every report that you want to view). Hope the above is clear.

Hi All, We have one Web Application called Hummingbird BI Web Report. It is browser based Application. It is Reporting Application.There user can view Reports which is created in one more tool called BI Query Admin and published into BI Web. To View a Report user has to have valid username and password. What it does ,it first validate user credentials(user name and pwd) and allows him to view any report.This application is developed in servlet and webserver as tomcat(i hope so).. Ok.Right now what i'm customizing that application. our client does like that original Application's User interface(frond end). so i'm customizing that application with some more functionalities.. My objective is pass user credentials paramaters from my web application to BI Web application and get Session for that. after that pass parameters to view a report from my web application. for eg..To login into original application i need to call this URL http://servername:8070/biweb/request?biUName=administrator <http://servername:8070/biweb/request?biUName=administrator&biPwd=administra tor> &biPwd=administrator it is login into to BI web application ,creates session for this user and shows it own user interface. once u get a session for broswer we can viewt report using this url http://servername:8070/biweb/request?action=viewreport <http://servername:8070/biweb/request?action=viewreport&hrrtp=r1/test/testRe port.rep> &hrrtp=r1/test/testReport.rep it shows testReport in your browser.for that u should have valid session. now what i want is get Session from original application to my own custom application, and view report.. Now i'm using tomcat server 4.0.3 and trying with jsp. i'm passing usercredentials to BiWeb application and try to get session of that application and i dont want original application's user interface. can we do with include and forward action in jsp or any other ways is there for this? i'm ready to use any web server and any web technology(ASP,servlet,jsp what ever)? Pls advice and get back to me asap. it is very urgent.
