oncase-biserver-uploader

Bean for Pentaho that implements an uploader that redirects the call to a given endpoint passing the file path and more parameters

Purpose

With sparkl, there's now a lot of plugins being built to Pentaho BI-Server. However, at this point it's still not possible to have upload easily implemented on Pentaho without coding a custom Java class.

With oncase-biserver-uploader, you should simply add our lib and change your plugin.spring.xml to be ready for uploading and post-processing your files.

Enabling

You should only:

• copy our JAR oncase-biserver-uploader-X.X.X.jar to your plugin lib folder and then;
• add the following line to your plugin.spring.xml, after the org.pentaho.platform.web.servlet.JAXRSPluginServlet bean:

<bean id="YOU_PLUGIN_ID.uploader.api" class="com.oncase.biserver.ws.UploaderREST"/>

After this, you just need to restart your bi-server and you should be ready to use

Using

You can now upload your files and tell the uploader which endpoint you want to call next and what parameters to forward.

The multipart/form-data POST should be sent to /pentaho/plugin/YOU_PLUGIN_ID/api/upload/send and this endpoint accepts the parameters:

• file - The file that will be uploaded;
• endpointPath - The path to the endpoint that will be called after the upload is done. This path is relative to the contextPath (after the …:8080/pentaho/) ex.: plugin/tapa/api/uploadedfiletester ;
• queryParameters - Any queryparameters you’d want to forward to your endpoint. ex.: &paramtemplate=tapa-default&paramtableId=123.

Examples

There are some example files inside of resources/ folder.
