5/24/2007 Output custom formatted message from Orchestration.

Posted at: 5/24/2007 at 6:56 AM by saravana
Have you ever wanted to create a custom formatted message. For example if you define a message of type System.String inside your orchestration and output it via an adapter the result will be as shown below <?xml version="1.0" ?> <string>Hello there</string> this is because of the default serialization behavior of .NET base types within BizTalk. If in case you wanted to output the message as a simple string, in our case "Hello there" without an... [More]

5/16/2007 Orchestration - Handle SOAP Exception and deal with Suspended (resumable) messages

Posted at: 5/16/2007 at 6:52 PM by saravana
The main reason for this blog post is due to this newsgroup post Download Sample from here. Step #1: Catching SOAP Exception: Whenever you call a Web service it's a good practice to handle the SOAP exception specifically rather than just leaving the orchestration to throw an un-handled exception which will result in orchestration service instance and all the referenced message instances being suspended. As shown in the following Orchestration diagram, handling a  SOAP e... [More]

12/21/2006 MIME Message, SOAP Adapter, Web Service with multiple input arguments - BizTalk Messaging-Only (CBR) solution.

Posted at: 12/21/2006 at 7:25 PM by saravana
In my previous post we have seen how you can call a web service which expects a single argument using SOAP adapter with a .NET proxy client in a BizTalk messaging only scenario (aka Content based routing) without using any orchestration. In Step 4 of my previous post I explained how the IBaseMessage from Biztalk is translated into corresponding Web Service arguments in the proxy class. Basically, when we submit the sample message (CustomerInfo) via a Receive Location, BizTalk c... [More]

8/24/2006 Why messages are immutable inside Biztalk?

Posted at: 8/24/2006 at 7:12 AM by saravana
Most of us know that messages received inside biztalk are immutable, meaning they cannot be modified. If we need to modify the message say for example, if you want to change the price of the product inside the message, then a new message needs to be constructed (Inside orchestration you use Construct, Transform shape etc, inside pipeline you create a temporary stream). So, whats the reason for this immutable message behaviour. Reasons: 1. A received message might have multiple subscribers (or... [More]
