Sourav Hazra ajax call out
Hi,
We have a requirement of integrating salesforce.com with OBIEE reporting system. The OBIEE reports are accessible from salesforce.com customer community. We have a Middleware component in between which exposes a web service to salesforce.com and invoked on a button from sfdc.
The web service accepts few parameters and based on that returns a dashboard URL which is then used to display the reports.
My question is can we catch that url inside a controller and then use ajax call out method to show the reports? The reports will be a shown in a pop up window and the back ground application will be inaccessible during that time.
We did try direct url redirection and iframe solution but in both cases exact url is being displayed in the address bar or view source window which is a potential security threat.
An early response is much appreciated. Please let me know if you need more details.
Regards,
Sourav

Using this technique in conjunction with an apex call out you could do something like this:
In your controller assign a string parameter = to the value of a PJAX request. This will return an HTML snippet that is jquery insertable into the DOM.
Write that PJAX string to your page
Use jquery to insert it into the proper place.
