SharePoint Consuming Mashups using standard XML Web Part

Posted 01/20/2010 - 18:20 by MiMi Levine

With a fairly basic knowledge of XSL, XPath and XSL Stylesheets, the SharePoint XML Web Part can provide a front-end for Presto Mashups. The XML Web part can actually be used to invoke any REST-like, XML based, non-SOAP Web Service, where the invocation request is encapsulated in a URI and the response is received as an XML document.

Are you putting Excel in the cloud, when you say repository? Where is this Repository? Google Docs, SharePoint?

Posted 01/04/2010 - 13:38 by Blythe

No, in the demo you just saw we were PULLING Excel from the cloud.  But the server was inside our firewall.  And that 'using external data in an internal mashup' is a very common architecture.

JSR-168 is nice, but it doesn't help me as an ASP.NET developer. Is there support for displaying mashlets in ASP.NET apps?

Posted 12/31/2009 - 11:02 by Blythe

Yes, we have a .NET API as well. And we are just about to release some examples of Presto Mashups in Sharepoint. Keep an eye on http://www.jackbe.com/enterprise-mashup/

Are you using .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 with AJAX?

Posted 12/30/2009 - 10:42 by Blythe

Most of our software is Java-based but we have integrated with .NET-driven tools like Microsoft SharePoint.

Can Presto create mashups with unstructured data (i.e. word doc checked into a SharePoint site)?

Posted 12/30/2009 - 10:27 by Blythe

Yes.  We often use a type-specific library to extract the information.  we do have out-of-the-box Connectors for Microsoft Excel and another Connecter for HTML 'scraping'.  Other unstructured formats would be accessed through document-type-specific access functions.
