is there any way to integrate/embed JasperServer into another web app? The thing is that the login page of JasperServer should be somehow bypassed. Is it maybe possible to do authentication through web service / REST, skip login page, and then show the main server page in an iframe, or something to that effect?

Thanks.

You can use Http protocol and pull the reports in an iframe. The authentication information needs to go in URL as j_username and j_password.

To use Rest service, you need to write a REST client (I did it using Jersey with Http authentication) where authentication info goes in the Header.

It also provides SOAP services for integration which I haven't tried yet.
