Has anybody tried integrating a java web application hosted on tomcat with QV9 ZFC via QWW/QVA javascript?

[#1]

Hi all,

I am integrating a java based web application hosted using tomcat on port 8080 with QV9 ZFC hosted on QlikView 9 Webserver on port 80. I have been able to achieve simple UI integration by using frames issuing get requests to AJAX ZFC accesspoint. All is well upto this point.

I now need to exchange some information between QV Document and the host page served by tomcat webserver. I am experimenting with Qva javascript class to pull some information out of QlikView Document.

I tried the following snippet from the FruitColor example:

var qva = new Qva.PageBinding();
qva.View = "doc.qvw";
qva.Autoview = "";
new Qva.Scanner(qva);
new Qva.Modal();
Qva.Start();

I noticed that Qva.Start() is posting to port 8080 (http://localhost:8080/QvAJAXZfc/QvsViewClient.asp?mark=&view=doc.qvw&userid=user&password=pass), ie my tomcat server which served the page containing the javascript snippet. How do I configure Qva such that it posts to QV Webserver @ localhost:80 but not to the current server?

Thanks in advance,

Ashwin

If you want to run Qlikview-javascripts from your Tomcat you have to take care about CROSS DOMAIN AJAX Calls.

AJAX is not allowed to make XMLHTTP-Requests from one computer to a different computer! You should see in the Firefox Javascript Error Console that your AJAX-Request from Tomcat (localhost:8080) to QlikviewWebserver(localhost:80) was forbidden.

I once wrote a document about how to come over this restrictions by using APACHE with mod_proxy! You may want to take a look at it.
