Bonita - Using the REST API

Today I updated my LinkedIn profile, I have decided to join the Bonitasoft group (it 's an open source BPM tool, more info go to website).
I finally found this simple tutorial to understand the use of the Bonitasoft REST api.Thanks Ben

Creating Cascade Parameters with Pentaho Report Designer 3.5.

Hi,
Working on the jAPS/Pentaho integration I found  problems such as the use of cascading parameters. I find very useful the following post by Prashant Raju. 
I followed his tutorial and the analysis of the file prtp this allow me to understand how  are structured the files:

• datadefinition.xml, 
• compound-ds.xml,
•  sql-ds.xml
• ...

This allow me to create dynamic forms inside a jAPS showlet(*) and execute  reports.
Thx again Prashant.

(*)A “Showlet” is a pluggable user interface component that displays contents, resources and usable services in a web page.
A showlet engine allows to manage these components in terms of configuration and position in a web page. More info 

OpenBravo installation problem

In these days trying to install from source Openbravo I found a lot of problems due to the fact that my version of ubuntu is 10.10 and therefore postgresql 8.3 was  no longer supported.
The error returned was due to the lack of library-postgresql contrib-8.3 no longer supported.
 Googling I found this link that allows  to do download the library and all its dependencies


postgresql-contrib-8.3



Greetings and Happy New Year to all
