I am having some trouble calling webservices from an orchestration.

Now I know how to consume webservice in an orchestration by using web
references and web messages. But, I have a send port with Specify Later in m
y
orchestration that goes to a Role Link. Some partners in the role will have
FILE and a few may have SOAP adapters. I can send to FILE with no problem,
but SOAP fails with "AssemblyName not valid".

I read some place that it is mandatory to use WebPorts to call web services
from an orchestration. Is this true?

I found that this is necessary because XLANG adds a couple extra properties,
AssemblyName and WebMethod, at runtime.

Is there a way to create a custom pipeline to add these properties and their
values? Any have any thoughts on accomplishing this? It seems odd that I
cannot call web services without using webports.

Thanks a bunch

I belive I have seen a post indicating that you could add those properties
to the message context and it would work, but this might not be a supported
solution.  I think the only supported solution is to use an orchestration
with a web reference.
