I have only a message scenario , no orchestration, no business logic as such. 

Just a source and destination schema, mapped with few data transformations in the map, and then I need to connect to an external web service and send the message to web service.

What would be the best way of doing this ?

Hi,

If you want to call a web service with your transformed data, then you need to create a send port with "WCF-Basic Http" adapter. You need to specify the URI of web service while configuring the adapter.

It is pretty easy and well documented at MSDN Library.

To consume Web services in a messaging only scenario, do the following:

• Create a proxy library and XML schemas for invoking Web services
• Configure a send port and receive location for consuming a Web service

Hi All,

I have only a message scenario , no orchestration, no business logic as such. 

Just a source and destination schema, mapped with few data transformations in the map, and then I need to connect to an external web service and send the message to web service.

I tried this creating proxy and configured send port mentioning web service url using WCF-BasicHttp adapter.

When posting message to external web service , I could see in message tracked event in the message body a well formed XML.

but at the external web service entry point, the data is null, cannot figure out what happening .

help needed

Hi,

Make sure you have specified the correct action while configuring the send port.
