Flex Builder Tutorials

Specify the web service to use

The source of the Flex Store product data is a web service that returns an array containing the 
data. 

1.

In Flex Builder, open the flexstore.mxml file located in the fbBindings folder (not the 
fbComponents folder).

2.

In the Data panel (Window > Data), click the Plus (+) button, and select Web Service from the 
pop-up menu.

The Add Web Service dialog box appears.

3.

Select FlexStoreCatalogWS from the pop-up menu.

A web service with this name is mapped in the whitelist for the Flex server samples (/samples/
WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml).

Note: 

If you get an error message that says the WSDL fetch failed, make sure the Flex server is 

running. Also make sure you entered the correct values for the local and the Flex server root 
folders. The values must be exactly the same as those described in the site setup tutorial. See 

“Define a Flex Builder site” on page 5

.

4.

Click OK.

The web service appears in the Data panel.

5.

Click the web service in the Data panel to select it and specify the value of the following property 
in the Attributes panel: 

■

Common > id

: 

catalogWS

Note: 

The angle bracket means the ID property is located in the Common category of the 

Attributes tab. This convention is used throughout the tutorials.
