I'm trying to call a method in a selfmade component from an
orchestration. My component references another component, and both of
them are installed into the GAC. When I run the orchestration I get
the FileNotFoundException, it cannot find my component or one of its
dependencies.

(Orchestration.dll(?) calling DBComponent.dll calling SQLHelper.dll,
DBComponent gets the FileNotFoundException or one of it's dependencies
not found)

I have been trying many different scenarios trying to get the
references right. Could anyone please tell me how to get them right?
Are the references supposed to be project references or "hard"
references or what?

I have been beating my head against the wall for several hours now and
some help would be greatly appreciated.

Most probably an inconsistency between the referred version and the real
version of a deployed GACced assembly.  Your best option probably is to
remove all assemblies you have created out of the GAC.  Remove all "bin"
directories.  Recompile all projects again.

Now try to deploy things again.  (Just make sure you have project references
and did not configure the assembly as "copy local".  That way, you are sure
that the assembly being referenced is referenced by its very last version
number!)

Best regards,
Christof

Hello Christof!

Thanx for your advice.
I followed your advice and after some additional banging of my head
against the wall I managed to get my component up and running (only to
discover a different error... 

Here is how I solved the problem:
1. I removed everything from the GAC.
2. Removed all dll's from the bin directories.
3. Recompiled all my projects.
4. Used the BizTalk deployment wizard to deploy my BizTalk assembly.
5. Tested my orchestration...
6. No luck...
7. Dragged and dropped my components from the bin\deployment to the
GAC.
8. Tested my orchestration...
9. Felt lucky...
10. Partial success... 

My Orchestration is performing database insert using SQLXml (via a
database component, now happily functioning with my orchestration),
and for some reason the orchestration removes the XML-declaration.
(<?xml version="1.0 encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> )

My next question... Is this by design? Or is there a property that
disables this "feature" when you are getting your xml-message from
file... SQLXml doesn't seem to work very well without the
xml-declaration, which means that I have to put the xml-declaration
back in my database component (the one called from the orchestration),
which ofcourse is a small matter, but irritating.

Thanx

/ Johan

Two things:
- what about the SQLAdapter?  (Or are you using another database?)
- the XMLAssembler pipeline component has an option that lets you specify wh
ether to keep the processing instruction or not
- the mapper has an option called "Omit XML Declaration" - set this to "no"

I don't know how you call your component, but that's probably from within yo
ur orchestration so the XMLAssembler won't help you a lot.  Are you using th
e mapper?

Best regards,
Christof

Here is the complete scenario:

1. A file is saved to [drive]:\[somewhere]
2. This file looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<ns0:infil xmlns:ns0="http://apa.apa.apa/infil" attribute="fkjdsh">
<element attribute="dksjdh" />
</ns0:infil>

3. This file is picked up by a XMLReceive pipeline (Standard) and is
sent to a ReceivePort (no mapping applied).
4. My database component is created in an expresssion shape.
5. A return message is created as the result of calling my database
component with my message (2) as a input paramter.

At step 4 (the input to my database component) the message is without
namespace. Why? Is there a way to avoid this happening?

You need to deploy your assemblies in BizTalk, just as you would deploy
your orchestration assemblies. Use BizTalk Deployment Wizard and go through
the Wizard steps.
