How to integrate ReportServer in Java web application

Hi,
I want to know is there any way to integrate ReportServer in a Java application?
There is not any support/help in internet right now except official but documentation did not cover integration as well.
Would you please help me to find any tutorial or steps to integrate RS in web application.

Thanks.

Hi fnbajwa,

you can execute your reports in reportserver by url, and call this url from within your java application. More information here: https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-the-URL/

Further, check here:

Thanks eduardo for quick response.

In one of the above posts you suggested requires an API key to be used if we want to access RS without login.
What's really an API key?
How can I acquire API key?
Is this facility available in community edition?

Thanks,
Farhan

Hi Farhan,

yes, it is available, check here: https://reportserver.net/en/pricing/
Scroll down for a comparison:
"Report Configuration via URL
Embed and configure reports via URL."

Your APIKEY is just a user property in order to allow him/her to login without entering his/her password. Here you can find more information on APIKEY: https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admi … a-the-URL/ , section 6.11.3. Embedding Reports Without Login
