We have a partner that needs the DOCTYPE element written out in the XML file
we are sending them.  Is there a way to force BizTalk 2004 to include the
DOCTYPE tag?  I tried adding in information on the schema properties for
"Document Type" and "Document Version" but it does not write out a DOCTYPE
tag.

Hello.

So you have an element in your schema called DOCTYPE and you just want to
make sure it always shows up with either a value or blank?

What I usually do is use a script functoid and have it return “”.  Then,
 map
that to the node.  I think you can also use a string concatenation with just
a single blank parameter.

Point being you need some functoid to create the node for you.

He is dealing with DTDs - to add a DOCTYPE, your best bet might be to use a
send pipeline to add this to the raw content.
(You could write a custom serializer, as has been discussed before, but that
might be overkill for this.)

So there is no setting in the pipeline properties to add a DOCTYPE element
in?  I know there is one for the xml processing instruction.  I was hoping
there was another property I could set to add that in.

Hi,
You can use  Grid Properties to set the "Doctype Public" and "Doctype
System"
properties in the mapper.
