Web Service Data Source - Authentication? [message #246990] Mon, 09 July 2007 19:24 Go to next message

Originally posted by: phil.issler.dataflux.com

While looking into the new Web Service ODA Data Source in BIRT 2.2, I
noticed that there is no built-in support for passing credentials to the
server in the HTTP request.

While one could always implement their own "Custom Connection Class" to
handle this, they would lose much of the built-in functionality of the
data source.

Are there any plans to augment this ODA driver to allow at least Basic
HTTP authentication?

Hello Phil,

I don't believe that this is in the plan right now. I think the question
might be better asked on the DTP site, since we just use the ODA components
that they produce. Seems like this is a good candidate for a Bugzilla enhancement
request.

I agree that handling basic authentication would be a nice feature. In
the mean time, how does the custom connection class work? Is it the
same for a scripted data source. Can someone provide an example class
or explain any required API for this class?

I'm interested if there has been any progress in using basic authentication for BIRT for the web service data source? I'm running BIRT 3.7 and don't see a way to pass credentials for web services requiring authentication

Any code samples/examples would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

This is not in 3.7 but maybe you could do it with the web service custom
class property. Take a look at this article which discusses this
datasource:
