i ignored it and went to Content development and under VC created a new Model of type Iview, again web service one ,gave some name, used the system alias as i described in the above post, and when i clicked next ,

it says "Could not connect to back-end application. Check your system. The server may be down or there may be an error in a system parameter."

Try this web service:

http://www.webservicex.net/WeatherForecast.asmx?WSDL

I know this works in SPS9. Also, you don't need to specify user mapping for this web service as it is external, not SAP.

hi all , i made the proxy settings.

Now in system configuration , under Visual Composer i created a new Model from System Template of type Web Serice and gave the below url

<a href="http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertTemperature.asmx?WSDL">http://www.webservicex.net/ConvertTemperature.asmx?WSDL</a>

I gave User Mapping Type as admin,user.

<b>then when i test it</b> it says,

Retrieval of default alias successful

<b>Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.</b>

Can anyone tell me what might be the reason ?

The web service proxy locations have changed with SPS9, so make sure you check this blog for proxy settings. This is most likely your issue with the web service:
