Introduction

Mondrian Version : mondrian-3.0.4.11371

This sample shows the use of Mondrian's taglib - with its definition located as /WEB-INF/mdxtable.tld - and several XSL files to transform and format our page output.

Configuration

Prerequisites Articles

File Configuration

Open and edit web.xml file - which should be located in your [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/mondrian/WEB-INF folder - with your favorite text editor,  and find connectString context parameter with these following configurations :

web.xml

  <context-param>
    <param-name>connectString</param-name>
    <param-value>Provider=mondrian;Jdbc=jdbc:mysql://localhost/foodmart;JdbcUser=your_user;JdbcPassword=your_password;Catalog=/WEB-INF/queries/FoodMart.xml;JdbcDrivers=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;</param-value>
  </context-param>


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 seventh sample from the index page (JVarious queries formatted using the Mondrian tag-library). You should see an OLAP data table with a JPivot toolbar. Drill through some of the dimension level nodes.

For example, my web application is located at http://localhost:8080/mondrian and my "Various queries formatted using the Mondrian tag-library" sample url is http://localhost:8080/mondrian/taglib.jsp. Screenshot below shows the page.
