Orchestration Patterns with BizTalk Server : Example

The BizTalk Web services Publishing Wizard is used to create a Web service with three service operations from the port definition. Figure 2 shows the summary page for the ASMX service.

Figure 2. The ASMX infrastructure provides a Web service summary page for the port from Figure 2.

The created Web service embeds the request type from each of the three one-way operations in another XML element with the name of the operation. For example, an XML document for the request of the JobCompletion operation, as defined by the BizTalk message schema, may be created as follows:

Example 1.

<Completion xmlns=
  "http://SuperiorStamping.Fulfillment.JobCompletion">
  <OrderId xmlns="...">
    o-1234
  </OrderId>
  <CompletedAt xmlns="...">
    2011-10-16
  </CompletedAt>
</Completion>

Publishing the port as a Web service adds a JobCompletion element around the message, as shown here:

Example 2.

<soap:Body>
  <JobCompletion xmlns=
    "http:// SuperiorStamping.Fulfillment/Service">
    <Completion xmlns=
      "http://SuperiorStamping.Fulfillment.JobCompletion">
      <OrderId xmlns="...">
        o-1234
      </OrderId>
      <CompletedAt xmlns="...">
        2011-10-16
      </CompletedAt>
    </Completion>
  </JobCompletion>
</soap:Body>
