Questions about flow of information between portal, webservice, and jsreports
Hi all. I'm new to jsreports and am documenting a high-level process flow of integrating our portal with jsreports and a web service to get the data from our data warehouse.
Could you give me a stamp of approval or suggestions for this flow?
- User views report select page in my portal and enters/select parameters.
- Portal calls my custom web service with report parameters.
- My custom web service queries the data warehouse to get the data set.
- My custom web service calls jsreports and provides the data set for the report.
- jsreports renders the report as a PDF.
- PDF appears in the user's browser window as a download.

I have a couple of questions/doubts that I hope you can help me with:
- What method is used to pass a JSON file from my web service to jsreports?
- How do return the PDF that is generated by jsreports back to the portal web page?
Thank you for your help!
