Deploying RS reports with XML datasources?

Hello-

We've been developing RS 2005 reports which consume XML data from several webservices we've written.

Now comes the issue of deployment. Our production server is not our development server. We've been using the development server URL for our connection string when we built our datasets... how does that work when we want to deploy these reports?

I suppose we can edit the RDL of each report and manually change the connection strings to reflect the the production server address. Is there a better practice that we can implement to handle this problem?

Thanks.

Have you tried to use Shared Datasources? This typically eliminates having to store the information in the report.
