Jasperserver Web Service with Python

[stopbugginme]

 Hi everybody,

I'm a newbie Jasperserver user. I'm trying run a report using the web service API.

I'm using Python (with SOAPpy), but results are not successful.

Here is my code:

from SOAPpy import SOAPProxy, WSDL, URLopener
url = "http://user:pass@localhost:8080/jasperserver/services/repository"
server = SOAPProxy(url)
xml = """
<request operationName="runReport" locale="en">
    <argument name="RUN_OUTPUT_FORMAT">XML</argument>
    <argument name="USE_DIME_ATTACHMENTS"><![CDATA[1]]></argument>
    <resourceDescriptor name="" wsType="reportUnit" uriString="/reports/samples/AllAccounts">
        <label><![CDATA[Accounts Report]]></label>
    </resourceDescriptor>
</request>
"""
print server.runReport(xml)


 and here's is the result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "test.py", line 20, in <module>
  print server.runReport(xml)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SOAPpy/Client.py", line 499, in __call__
  return self.__r_call(*args, **kw)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SOAPpy/Client.py", line 521, in __r_call
  self.__hd, self.__ma)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SOAPpy/Client.py", line 424, in __call
  p, attrs = parseSOAPRPC(r, attrs = 1)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SOAPpy/Parser.py", line 1077, in parseSOAPRPC
  t = _parseSOAP(xml_str, rules = rules)
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/SOAPpy/Parser.py", line 1060, in _parseSOAP
  raise e
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: <unknown>:1:0: not well-formed (invalid token)

 I've tested the web service with the php sample, but it's really complex. I just want begin with the very easiest sample in python.

Thanks a lot

Have you seen this post: http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=112&forumid=102&topicid=56887#56887

 

I suspect you are running into the same problem I had though I was using ZSI rather than SOAPpy.

I have patched ZSI's client.py to make it work with JasperServer's runreport. Attached is my customized client.py. It is based on ZSI svn source revision 1495.
