Custom adapter or pipeline, please advise
|

| I have a BizTalk 2002 AIC written in C# that picks up files using the File
transport protocol applies some XSLT to the incoming files and then converts
them to PDF's and sends them to their destination using the File transport
protocol.
I want to use this on BizTalk 2004 now and management wants this rewritten
(not using a shim). My question is that given that all we are using is the
File transport protocol should I go through the trouble of writing my own
custom adapter or can I just use a custom pipeline or even some other
approach?
Thing is that I have several different integration solutions that will want
to execute the same business logic and am looking for the best way to
encapsulate this with the least amount of programming since I am a BizTalk
newbie.
Any advice, guidance or links would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

| Hi,
As I see it, you could do the XSLT in a map and the pdf-conversion in a
custom pipeline component. Then you can use the file adapter for the
transport.
With the limited information on hand I'm pretty sure that would be my own
approach.

| Is there an easy way to reverese engineer the curent XSLT into a map?
Thanks.

| You can call XSLT from a scripting functoid. I've never done this myself, but
it should be pretty simple - I suppose it's as simple as calling external
assemblies... and that's simple.

| .... or you can put the xslt directly in the map. Se this link for help on this:

| We are interested in using BizTalk Server to create PDF. Do you know what
component you are using for the PDF-generation?
