You can use pre-built Java functions to call Yellowfin API. This makes development a little bit easier as you are using pre-built functions, rather than configuring each request manually.
| Tip |
|---|
The code samples regarding this method can be found in the development/examples/webservices folder. See the jsp files with ‘api’ in their names. A good starting point is copying files with ‘mobile’ in their names, into the Yellowfin ROOT folder and explore. |
Performing SOAP Calls
Performing direct SOAP calls using Java generated stubs off Yellowfin WSDL.
All the code samples under Administration Service and Report Service sections are explained using SOAP calls in Java. In this Wiki, all the examples of using Yellowfin web services are explained assuming that you call Yellowfin API from Yellowfin Tomcat (that means you use JSP and all your files go to Yellowfin/appserver/webapps/ROOT folder). Using languages other than Java will not bring much complexity to the code.
Use this command to initialize the Administration web services:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
AdministrationServiceService s_adm = new AdministrationServiceServiceLocator(<host>,<port>,<ServicePath>, <ssl>);
AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub adminService = (AdministrationServiceSoapBindingStub) s_adm.getAdministrationService();
|
Use this command to initialize the Report web services:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
ReportServiceService s_rpt = new ReportServiceServiceLocator(<host>, <port>, <ServicePath>, <ssl>);
ReportServiceSoapBindingStub reportService = (ReportServiceSoapBindingStub) s_rpt.getReportService();
|
See below for an explanation of these parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
host | String | Yellowfin server (can be server DNS name, IP address, URL or “localhost”) |
port | Integer | http port number to access Yellowfin server |
ServicePath | String | Path to the service Administration service path: "/services/AdministartionService" Report service path: "/services/ReportService" |
ssl | Boolean | If SSL enabled: true |
The primary objects include:
- AdministrationServiceRequest
- AdministrationServiceResponse
