Can you run SQL reports in your Flex application? That way you won't have any problems with RS Web Services. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Baz thinkl...@... wrote: I would like to build a flex front-end to Microsoft Reporting Services (RS) using the provided webservice at http://mydomain/reportserver/reportservice2005.asmx?wsdl.

Nope, the WSDL should show the operations and data types the service uses. It is just an XML file so you should be able to copy and paste it.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to Access Microsoft Reporting Services (RS) Webservices (reportservice2005.asmx?wsdl)
I have read the wsdl and imported it into my ide so that is could provide code insight on whats available. There are no problems there, the issue arises when running the code. I get an authorization denied (or similar) error. Googling about I noticed that .net has some special functions for opening an authorized connection. The phrase forms auth has been thrown about too. But there are no definitive resources on how to reproduce this with non .net environments.

The thing is, a web service is a very low level thing. You post XML to it and it responds in XML. Authentication is usually done in a SOAP header or less often as parameters in the SOAP body.
