Web service URL configuration for Xcelsius in BO XI3.1

Question

Currently we can evaluate the BOE R2 and BOE XI3.1, and we are facing such a problem:
In R2, we configure the Web service URL for Tomcat in "...\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\WEB-INF\web.xml
", there is a parameter called "crystalxcelsius.webconnectorurl", we configure it like this:
<context-param>
        <param-name>crystalxcelsius.webconnectorurl</param-name>
        <param-value>
             http://XX:8080/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/queryasaservice
        </param-value>
</context-param>
How can we do the same configuration in BOE XI3.1?
We cannot find the same web.xml because the folder structure has changed.
After we deployed the Xcelsius dashboards from BOE R2 to BOE XI3.1, it failed and the error message shows:"Unable to load URL...".

The Xcelsius team is investigating this issue. We'll update you when possible. Meanwhile here is a suggestion from another user.
"The web service url setting was removed from XI R3 due to the changes in InfoView/CMC client action framework in XI R3. In XI R3, there are multiple web.xml files instead of just one web.xml. The parameters defined in Xcelsius' web.xml cannot be accessed by Crystal Report or WebI...
Anyway, I have a workaround might work (I never tried it myself). In Xcelsius design time, add a flashvars range name "CEWebServiceURL" and bind the value of this range to a cell that has the url of the web service you want to use at run-time. The SWF should use this url to refresh LiveOffice at run-time."
