Hi All,

I get a "Failed to add a reference" when i try to add a Web Reference for
a sharepoint list webservice

Any suggestions or articles on consuming sharepoint webservices

-Regards,

That's the same problem we had a while back, we contact Microsoft
support and the problem was as follow:
BizTalk currently doesn't support array parameters.

workaround: build assembly/webservice that calls your web service.

There is one more thing.
You need to add the reference to the <ServiceName>wsdl.aspx  page but then
change the URI on the web service proxy class to point to the <Name>.asmx
page.
For instance if you use the Lists web service.
You will add a web reference to http://ServerName/_vti_bin/Listswsdl.aspx
URL but then when you use the web service proxy
you need to use the Lists.asmx page and include the site URL as well, like
this http://ServerName/sites/MySite/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx

Does BizTalk 2006 has support for Sharepoint WebServices?

BizTalk 2006 includes a fully supported adapter for Windows SharePoint
Services 2003. This adapter is available out of the box.
See my blog for additional info about this adapter

Hi Adrian,

I have read your post on new WSS Adapter. Looks great for Infopath
Integration

But can we read and write to sharepoint lists?

I will give it a try

Any whitepapers or articles on the WSS adapter?

You can send messages to a SharePoint list in which case a new list item is
created. You cannot receive messages from a SharePoint list.
To send messages to a list, you send them the same way as you do to a
document library ( Destination URL is /Lists/MyCustomList ) and you promote
values from the message to the SharePoint columns. The file/message won't
be attached to the list but the property promotion will happen and values
will be saved in the new list item.

For info on what column data types are supported look in documentation at
"Supported Windows SharePoint Services Column Types"

So far, I don't think that there is a whitepaper available.

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the reply

Cool. But if i want to read from Sharepoint List, theres no way in BizTalk
that i can consume the existing Sharepoint WebServices. The only way is to
create an external assembly  or webservice as 'Cal (kaddourah@gmail.com)'
suggested

Sharath

Yes, that is true. It would be pretty hard to do it directly from a BizTalk
orchestration because of the way SharePoint web services are designed.
Performing an operation in SharePoint through the web services will require
multiple web service calls to multiple SharePoint web services, so I
recommend you
to build this functionality in a .Net assembly and then call your class
from the orchestration.
