Hello. I have very similar needs, but instead of data coming from a Web Service, my data will be coming from dynamic reports, which I am planning to save in the session or in a csv temporary file.
What I am curious about is, if I make a custom data store which will link the report data with the features using a ID field, is it possible to pass either the session id or the filename of the temporary csv file into the custom data store so it will know which report data to link into. Thanks a lot. Mario.
