I have an orchestration which I want to publish as a webservice. Like any ot
her typical orchestration, I am not having any schemas that I do the mapping
. Instead I am working (receive and send) with .NET objects that I create fr
om a references dll. 

This orchestration has a parallel convoy, with each receive shape sending an
d receiving from the same port but different operations. This forces me to c
reate correlation set for the receive shapes.

I have no clue how to co-relate these receive shapes. They are totally diffe
rent message types and have no connection with each other. The only reason I
 am doing it as a parallel convoy is becuase, I want to expose this orchestr
ation as a web service and have only one web service(port) with multiple met
hods (operations), so that my client can call different methods based on a c
ontext.

Is using a parallel convoy good in such a case or is there another way. Also
, for these .NET objects how can I create a correlation set??

Hi Zorinn,

Don't use a parallel convoy, unless you want to continue your
orchestration when all messages are received. I don't think that's what
you want.

You can use the listen shape instead; using this shape, you can have
your orchestration started when one of your messages is received. For
more information on how to use this shape, see

Also, you don't have to worry about correlation anymore.

Thanks Dick Dijkstra.

That did it. However, I have another issue.

I have a headerSchema.xsd which I publish as a SOAP header when I publish my
 orchestration. So when the asmx file is created for each of those orchestra
tions, the SOAP header schema is also published as class inside each of thos
e webservices.

Thus at compile time I get an error saying that there is a duplicate definit
ion of this SOAP header class. Is there a way out of this??
