I want to use java.net.URL interface to connect to Report Viewer.I know that URL interface can be used in COGNOS to run, view,and edit reports through a hyperlink in a Web page and wondering how to do it.....

In other words how can we use the URL interface to automate Cognos 8 actions by passing commands and parameters in a URL.
Hope that clarifies my question.....
Thanks,

Have a look in the documentation installed with the Cognos SDK. Take the Developer Guide and go to Chapter 5. There you will find which tasks you can do with URL.

My understanding of using URLs is that - as you mentioned - to view or run reports within a web page, so to call reports from another webpage. That's all. When you use the SDK you need to deal with RunOption and other objects to pass run options and parameters to the report. So a java.net.URL object is not applicable in the case.
