Hi

I recently read this document by Michael Royster and Adam Zilinskas on "Inte
grating Applications That Require a Persistent Client Connection".

In there they basically cover that if you need to pesistent connection to a 
remote system, they suggest you have a AIC COM+ component that contains the 
connection.

In BizTalk 2004, has any of this changed, do AIC's still exist or has this m
oddel changed? ... can one create a biztalk adapter that can handle persiste
nt TCP/IP connections?

I need to create an integration application/adapter that receives messages o
ver persistent TCP/IP connection. Which would be the best way to approach th
is?

Thanks ahead!

Hi Carlo

In BTS2004 the concept of Adapter's still exisit but not as AIC's. I would
recommend you install the updated help file for BTS2004 which you can get
from the downloads section of www.microsoft.com/biztalk

For your persistent TCP/IP connection question, I will point you at Scott's
recent blog entry
http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwoo/arch.../08/177770.aspx

Where he references a Socket Adapter Sample for BTS2004

AIC's no longer exist in BTS 2004, however the adapter framework allows you
to write adapters. this approach lets you maintain TCP connection's alive
for both send and receive.
