Report Model with XML datasource

Is there a way to create a Report Model with XML / WebService as datasource?

I am able to generate reports that connect to a WebService through Report Designer, but unable to find similar functionality in Model Designer.

JDee,

Here's a link for setting the Report Service XML datasource. I hope this works for you.

|||I'm interested in the same possibility. As far as I've understood, it's possible to generate models only from relational data sources. It would be a great surprise for me if not.|||RS 2005 supports only SQL Server (2000 and up), Analysis Services 2005 and starting with SP2 Oracle as data sources.|||Yes, from my understanding models are generated from relational data sources. I believe XML can represent relational database (http://www.w3.org/XML/RDB.html). I think a data provider which supplies XML as data source would be a neat feature in the upcoming versions.
