Anonymous access to tabular data
-
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to give anonymous access to Mango data, including tabular data like in a report. The goal is to allow anonymous users to copy/paste (or download) data into a third-party application (a spreadsheet for example).
I know that I can include a graphical view in an iframe, or build a custom view using jsp and tags. But they can only display current data or historical charts. I would like to display a table of time-value pairs for a given time interval, or give the ability to export a spreadsheet file. Is there an appropriate component or tag for that ?
This can be achieved by a report, but they can't run anonymously. Or can they ? An admin can also directly access the system database using SQL, but no way for an anonymous user. Is there another possibility ?Thanks,

Your only option is to build it yourself, but you can leverage the existing infrastructure. E.g. you could create a JSP, register it in the Spring dispatcher, and optionally write a controller class to handle page element. That would be the most basic approach. Or you could write a front end to the reports if you wanted to leverage that.

If I write a front end to the reports, will it be possible to run it anonymously ?

Yes, you just need to set it up so. Check out how the login page is done (i.e. publicly accessible).
