I'd say it's not possible without either using a custom compiler, or monkey-patching Operation.as, which would be a pretty bad idea IMO.
You could subclass WebService, but then the MXML syntax would be different as you wouldn't have the compile-time voodoo that is in MXMLC to support the original MXML syntax for services (a leftover from Flex 1.5 IIRC). -Josh 2009/4/16 variableop <[email protected]> > > > Josh, > > I can add the header using the web service's addHeader() method > programmatically and everything seems to work great when i call the back-end > webservice.
