| Hello,
I am using BizTalk Server 2004 to integrate an application
that exposes a number of methods on a COM interface.
I seem to remember that there was a COM adapter available
for BizTalk 2002, but I cannot see a COM adapter for
BizTalk Server 2004. I would have expected Microsoft to
ship one "out of the box".
What is the recommended way of connecting to a COM
interface ?? I don't want to call the COM methods directly
from an Expression Shape because I want a loosely-coupled
architecture.
Thanks, Mark.

| One way would be to build your own adapter for them... There's nothing
shipping out of the box for this and if you don't want to call them directly
using interop, this is the only option you have I'm afraid. The updated doc
contain some great samples on how to build an adapter!!
Regards,
Christof

| Hi,
This is where Visual Studio .Net integration shows its muscles ;-).
You don't need COM adapter with BTS 2004, because you have ability of
calling COM components directly from your orchestration. Just add COM object
reference to your Orchestration project and call it from orchestration the
same way as you call .Net objects.

| Sorry, I didn't notice you saying that you want to avoid using Expression
Shape in your orchestration when I wrote my original response...
