    Reporting Services (RS) supports "Data Processing Extensions" that (by
    default) extract data from .NET, OLE DB or ODBC data sources. However, it's
    not that hard to write your own Data Processing Extension. I expect you
    could write one that extracted data from the middle tier. You would have to
    return a DataReader to the Report Server for it to process, so your middle
    tier approach might not work well.

    Let me know what you figure out. There's more information about our new book
    on Reporting Services at www.sqlreportingservices.net.
