Where to place crossdomain.xml in SAP ECC IDES?

Question

Hi,
I have a flex application which uses webservices generated in SAP IDES system. This flex app is stored in portal server. Since the physical servers are involved, I get a security error message, which says, "Security error accessing url". I browsed through the net and found that, we have to place a crossdomain.xml file in the web root folder of the server from where we are fetching the data. In my case, it would be SAP IDES system.
I wanted to know where do I place this xml file in IDES? What would be it's location and how can I generate a URL to access this xml file?
Please let me know about this, if anyone has done this before.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Warm regards,
Deepak

Hi Durairaj,
As mentioned in that thread, I created a BSP application in the server and loaded crossdomain.xml. It was accessible from the browser too.
This is the xml code which is there in crossdomain:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
  <allow-access-from domain="*" />
  <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all" />
  <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" />
  </cross-domain-policy>
But this did not solve my purpose
I have my flex application in a server, servera.abc.com and I am using the webservices of another server, serverb.abc.com
I uploaded the crossdomain.xml in serverb.abc.com, in the following path through a BSP application:
http://serverb.abc.com:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml
But I still get the 'security accessing url' message in flex. It doesn't load the wsdl.
I'm also using this piece of code in initialize event of the application in flex:
                       private function initSecurity():void{
                    Security.allowDomain("*");
                    Security.loadPolicyFile("http://serverb.abc.com:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/zroot/crossdomain.xml");
                    Alert.show("crossdomain xml loaded....");
Where am I going wrong here?
