How to Construct a Web Message Part from a Schema Type

  • Article

You create a Web message part from a schema type by using a Transform shape. Alternatively, you can create a Web message part from a schema type by using a .NET helper class to set the parts. For more information on creating message types by using a .NET class, see Constructing Messages in User Code.

To construct a Web message part from a schema type

  1. Add a new map. For information about creating maps, see How to Create New Maps.

  2. In BizTalk Mapper, click Open Destination Schema in the Destination Schema pane of the map and in the BizTalk Type Picker dialog box, expand the Schemas node, select the schema for the added Web reference, and then click OK.

    Note

    The format of the Web reference schema is <project default namespace>.<Web reference name>.Reference.

  3. In the Root Node for Target Schema dialog box, select a root node for the destination schema, and then click OK. For more information about how to determine a root node for a Web message part type, see How to Determine a Web Message Part Type.

  4. Click Open Source Schema in the Source Schema pane of the map and in the BizTalk Type Picker dialog box, expand the Schemas node, select the source schema to map data from, and then click OK.

  5. In the BizTalk Mapper, create links between the source schema and target schema.

  6. Open an existing orchestration (or create a new orchestration), open the Toolbox, and click the BizTalk Orchestrations tab.

  7. Drag a Construct Message shape to the orchestration.

  8. Edit the Message Constructed property to include the message instance that yo created for the Web message type.

  9. Drag a Transform shape onto the Construct Message shape and double-click to open the Transform Configuration dialog box.

  10. Click the Existing Map button and select the map that you created in step one in the Fully Qualified Map Name list box.

  11. In the Transform pane, select Source. In the Source Transform pane, select a valid message instance from the list box.

  12. In the Transform pane, select Destination. In the Destination Transform pane, select the Web message instance from the list box, and then click OK.

    For more information about using the Transform Configuration dialog box, see How to Configure the Transform Shape.

    You can also use this procedure to map the Web method response message instance to another Web message instance.
