Configuration

Prerequisites Articles

File Configuration

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

mondrian.jsp

<jp:mondrianQuery
    id="query01"
    jdbcDriver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    jdbcUrl="jdbc:mysql://localhost/foodmart?user=your_username&password=your_password"
    catalogUri="/WEB-INF/queries/FoodMart.xml">
select
  {[Measures].[Unit Sales], [Measures].[Store Cost], [Measures].[Store Sales]} on columns,
  {([Promotion Media].[All Media], [Product].[All Products])} ON rows
from Sales
where ([Time].[1997])
</jp:mondrianQuery>


Note : [TOMCAT_HOME] is the folder where your Apache Tomcat installed. For example : C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16

Testing

Open your Mondrian web application and click on the first sample from the index page (JPivot Pivot Table). 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=mondrian. Screenshot below shows the page that have been drillthrough at some nodes.
