hello

using bts 2004...

i have a web reference to a web service added in my biz project. in the orch
estration, i have a web service port, that allows me to connect send/receive
 shapes to request/response operations. in order to invoke one of the reques
t operations, i have declar
ed a message of the corresponding web message type. in my previous test proj
ects, i was using a 'message assignment' shape to populate the fields requir
ed for the request message. now say if i receive a document that contains th
e values i would like to ma
p to most of the fields of the web request message, how do i do that? when t
rying to create a mapper to do so, i am unable to select the message that ha
s a web message type. so, how do i use a mapper to map fields to web-message
 typed messages?

thanks

If your web service has simple types for parameters, like string, int, etc,
you won't be able to map to it.  You have to be using a web service with a
schema based message(s).  In this situation, you need to pull data out of
the incoming message, using distinguished properties or the XPath function
and set properties on the web service request message.

If you have this schema based web service, then you should be able to map it
no problem, but I think it works best, and maybe only, if you have the
transform shape create the map for you.
