Presto has several APIs that you can use in your application to connect to Presto, to extend features and to work with mashlets. Reference documentation for these APIs is available from the links shown below.

Presto Connect

Presto Connect contains several API libraries, in different languages, that applications can use to connect to the Mashup Server or to the Event Connector and invoke Presto services. These APIs include:

Working with Presto Connect

Posted 01/18/2010 - 15:39 by MiMi Levine

 Presto Connect provides a wide set of APIs that you use to connect applications to Presto and invoke services or mashups. These APIs provide a simple, single interface to any supported service, removing the complexity of working with different service interfaces. For a basic introduction, see The JackBe Universal Message Protocol (JUMP).

Publishing Services with the HP SOA Systinet Connector

Working with Mashboard

Posted 01/18/2010 - 15:28 by MiMi Levine

Mashboard is a sample "dashboard" application installed with Presto that allows users to create and manage their own dashboard with mashlets published in Presto. You can use Mashboard as a demo to help you understand how mashlets can be used within your own applications. Or, you can deploy Mashboard to end users to give them access to mashlets in your organization.

To work with Mashboard, see:

Mashboard Features for information on the basic features in Mashboard. [Read More...]

Working with the Mashlet API and Framework

Posted 01/18/2010 - 15:10 by MiMi Levine

You use the Presto Mashlet API to develop custom mashlets with complete control over the mashlet’s look, feel and behavior. Custom mashlets can invoke Presto services, just as basic mashlets can, but they are not limited to a selection of simple views. See the Mashlet Architecture topic for an overview of mashlets and the Mashlet Framework in Presto.

Note: you can also change the styles for basic mashlets to customize their look to your requirements. [Read More...]

Advanced Mashups with EMML/Mashup Studio

Presto Wires allows both business users and developers to create mashups in a simple, graphical way. The features and scope for Wires mashups, however, is only part of the full capabilities and flexibility possible with mashups.

Developers who need more robust mashup capabilities can create mashups using the Enterprise Mashup Markup Language (EMML). This XML vocabulary is a very simple, but very powerful way to quickly build mashups from Presto services or any service accessible by URL. [Read More...]
