the initial request at my client was to show look and feel of the bo platform and its contents. now the requirements changed and the task is to integrate bo xi elements into the intranet.
we are speaking of a navigation tree, that should be dynamically loaded, linking to secured content ( e.g. an xcelsius dashboard ) which should be interlinked with drill functionality ( e.g. opening a subreport in webintelligence and or crystal in the next browserframe )
we have managed to accomplish the linking / handing over of xcelsius parameters to webi reports within an iframe function, opening the subreports within the same frame etc etc . . .
the whole interface should be designed to be used by an enduser, with maximum 3 clicks .
e.g. in order to sort columns, the webi integrated sort functionality via rightclick and following 3 clicks is already considered to be to much for the user. 
my open questions are:
-simple sort functionality by clicking on the column header
-drag and drop changing of columns within table of displayed report
-selection (display/hide) of displayed columns in displayed report by checkbox
-generation of a pdf booklet of displayed reports / of selection of certain documents via checkbox and generation of pdf booklet by simple click of a button
and a few other requirements that either lead to the question, if it is possible to build all of them via java sdk on top of the business objects platform at all.
has anyone had positive experience with sdk and portal integration on top of th exi 3.1 platform?
any help and hints are greatly appreciated.
