Transforming a message for input to a web service request
|
|
|
| The prototype objective is to receive a flat file or and XML document, disassemble it and call a web service, passing in some of the data received.
I have managed to construct a port for the file arriving, created a web service, referenced it in the BizTalk project. I see there have been two Multi Part Message Types created; one for the request and one the result.
I presumably want to transform the receive message disassembled from file input port to a send message to the web service.
How do I do this? I have Transform shape and can set the input message but cannot seem to select a send message. I did try creating a new message in the orchestration view and assigning it a type of the ...web service_request but this did not appear in
the Transform Shape configuration box. I have had a look at the ConsumingWebService example in the SDK and this looks correct. But there must be a stage I'm missing.

| To split an incoming message you need a schema that defines an envelope.
There's a sample in the SDK that shows you how to do this.

| Christof thanks. However this does answer my question. As I say I have mamaged to split the file. It is Tranfroming the message to the input of the web service that I am having difficulty with. See below.

| If your web service accepts an xml.xmldocument as input.
Use the message assign shape to convert the flatfile message to system.xml.xmldocument and assign the outgoing document message part to the xml document.
Hope that helps...

| Make sure when trying to map that you are using schema/complex type based
web services, otherwise you can't map, you have to use a message assignment
shape and set properties on a message of the type of your request.

| My web service is :
[WebMethod]
public XmlDocument UploadRecords(XmlDocument Message)
{
return Message;
}
I assume this is what you mean when you say the webservice must use complex
types ?

| BeerBoy 2004-07-15, 7:47 am |
| Fixed it !!!!
OK - now I understand - you need to define a class in the webservice and
then biztalk will create a schema for this class and allow to to map to/from
it.

| yes that is correct. Biztalk basically uses the same mechanism as xsd.exe
to convert the complex type to a schema.
if you run xsd.exe on XMLDocument no schemas will be generated for it. Same
is the case if the webservice parameter types are simple types (like
String, int)

| Is it possible to have the web service accept an xmldocument that conforms to
an existing (biztalk) schema? I need to pass my web service an entire
message from biztalk as is and then receive another message back...using a
class to define the schema only allows me to send bits and parts of it.
Thanks,
Brett

| Yes, you can declare the webservice to receive XMLDocument and then assign
send any valid XML Data. If you declare the output type as XMLDocument then
you can also receive any valid XML Data.
