WebServiceDataSource
You use the WebServiceDataSource component to call a web service and receive a response. You specify the following, either as static properties or in the code:
-
The URL of the web service
-
The namespace of the web service
-
The method that you want the component to call
-
Parameters for the method (optional)
The component calls the web service when you invoke the refresh method. The response (if any) is available as the response model member.
The component does not change the response in any way. If you call a web service in another domain, the remote server must allow cross-domain calls.
