Configuration

Prerequisites Articles

• Mondrian web application with MySQL backend setup
• Check your MySQL foodmart database sample setup
• Mondrian setup as XMLA Provider
  

File Configuration

Open and edit  xmla.jsp  file  - which should be located in your [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/mondrian/WEB-INF/queries folder - with your favorite text editor, and edit <jp:xmlaQuery> with these following configurations :

xmla.jsp

<jp:xmlaQuery id="query01"

Testing

Open your Mondrian web application and click on the secondsample from the index page (JPivot pivot table by XMLA). You should see an OLAP data table with a JPivot toolbar. Drill through some of the dimension level nodes.

For example, my Mondrian web application is located at   http://localhost:8080/mondrian  and my JPivot Pivot Table sample url is http://localhost:8080/mondrian/testpage.jsp?query=xmla. Screenshot below shows the page that have been drillthrough at some nodes.

Author's Note : Known Issue

This sample is working well with JDK 1.5. We encounter unresolved errors when using JDK 1.6 installed in our system. You can find the issue  here .

Solutions for this problem :

• Downgraded to JDK 1.5
• If you are using Tomcat, force it to use Axis for SOAP and the Xalan libraries in JPivot. See the following posts :
  • http://lists.pentaho.org/pipermail/mondrian/2009-January/001550.html
  • http://lists.pentaho.org/pipermail/mondrian/2009-January/001553.html
• Another proposed solution is to upgrade xalan.jar to xalan-2.7.jar as this thread suggested http://forums.pentaho.org/showthread.php?t=67104
