Scenario:
First in my Orchestration is a receiveshape with the Activate property set t
o true. The port connected to this shape I have published as a WebService.
Now, from an external application I want to call this WS to start the orches
tration.

Problem:
As this process at this stage does not need any perameters to evaluate, I wa
nt the WS to take _no_ parameters(ex. Operation_1()).
I can't seem to create an "empty" message for the recieveshape to achieve th
is. At the moment the messagetype is string, and the method is "operation_1(
string part)".

I've tried to create a multi-part messagetype with no parts, as I read this 
in another post with a similar problem, but the other way around (calling an
 outside webservice with no parameters).

Thanks

This is a limitation. You cannot create a multipart message without any
part and hence you cannot publish a web service without any parameters.
There is no workaround for it.
