Adding XML and Web Service Data Sources

$

My apologies for this basic question. I can't figure out how to add an XML file (local or web) or RESTful web service to my report.

 

  1. I downloaded the Crystal Reports for Eclipse all-in-one solution
  2. Navigate to Data Source Explorer> ODA Data Sources> XML Data Source> New..
  3. Name: test; URL of th XML source: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml or local.xml file; Auto connect: false (cannot change this)
  4. Finish
  5. Then what next....?

 

I'm trying to browse data but the Data Source Explorer won't allow me to. I'm assuming I can add tables similarly how you add tables when connecting through a DB under Data Connections. Then you drag your tables to the report so it can show up in your Field Explorer.

 

 

 

I tried repeating this through Web Services Data Sources but to no avail. I cannot browse the data or add tables to my Field Explorer. Am I missing a step here? Does Crystal Reports for Eclipse support RESTful services? I dont' have an xsd or wsdl file to go w/ my RESTful service. I just hit the api directly though http and it returns an xml formatted object
