embedding/integrating Pentaho Data Integration into web applications?

Question

I would like to let the user use the transformation file created from the Pentaho data integration without the need of using the PDI application (spoon) and I want it to run on web application. For example when the user clicks or triggers the PDI File in the web application the .ktr or the created transformation file will run automatically.

Since I am new to PDI, can someone give me a link or step by step guide on how to do this? All the links that I have found are either incomplete or they are hard to follow.

You can launch transformation with kitchen.sh. What I do is to host a web service that provides an API call for user to trigger a transformation. — chinglun
Do you really need to embed? Or could you just use carte? Either way I'd imagine that carte would be a good place to start looking.. — Codek
