How to call another dashboard in Pentaho using POST method

Question

I am using Open Source Pentaho CDE as BI tool for my project. In my Dashboard im using some yearly data to represent charts. And i need Drill Down functionality to know the data of the particular year in another dashboard.

If i click the year 2008 in the bar chart means i have to generate another dashboard contains information regarding that year itself.

function sendParameter(scene){
       var url="http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/%3Ahome%3Atiffany%3ADashboardWithAdventuresDBDrilDown2.wcdf/generatedContent";

       var vars = scene.vars;
       var c = vars.category.value;
       var v = vars.value.value;

       window.location=url+"?param_custom_state="+c;
} 

URL in the Browser is like :

http://localhost:8080/pentaho/api/repos/%3Ahome%3Atiffany%3ADashboardWithAdventuresDBDrilDown2.wcdf/generatedContent?param_custom_state=2007

I have used this script to call another dashboard from current dashboard. But it is in the form of Get method. I dont want to show the parameters in the URL.

How can i achieve it. Is there any other way to get Drill Down using Javascript in Pentaho CDE.

Since you only need to hide the parameters of url, you can either use an iframe or ajax request instead of directly calling the url location.
