item-class tag optional?

[StevePrt]

Is the item-class tag required for using the FlashBuilder DataServices wizard?  I have strongly typed objects in my Flex app, so the item-tag is supposed to be optional.

But, when i run the wizard I get an error stating the item-class tag is not defined.

Yes, item-class is required since without it the introspector has no way of telling what Java class an assembler might use.  In fact it is possible to write a single implementation of an Assembler that handles multiple types (or untyped!) objects.
