从SSRS报告中查询WCF Web服务

Question

I have simple wcf web service that returns xml when called. It returns something like:

<PCR>
<title>Project Control Report</title>
<pages>290</pages>
</PCR> 

The web service is currently deployed on my test machine and can be invoked through browser with :

http://localhost:62722/PCRWebService.svc/getReportData

In SSRS, for Data Source type I picked XML and I am now trying to specify Query in Data Set properties to call my web service. So far, after trying at least 20 examples I could find online, I couldn't make it work. Error is always the same: Invalid URI: URI is empty.

Here is one of my tries:

<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://localhost:62722/PCRWebService.svc/getListPlayers" Name="getListPlayers"></Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">
</ElementPath>
</Query>

Here is one of the examples I tried: http://bhushan.extreme-advice.com/webservice-as-datasource-in-ssrs/

Thanks
