BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack: Carry SOAPHeader To WCF-BasicHttp Pipeline Component

BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack community project for BizTalk Server 2016 got a new update and now it has another new component that you can use in your custom BizTalk Server pipelines: Carry SOAPHeader To WCF-BasicHttp Pipeline Component.

Carry SOAPHeader To WCF-BasicHttp Pipeline Component

The Carry SOAPHeader To WCF-BasicHttp is a pipeline component for BizTalk Server which can be used in a send pipeline and is intended to carry forward the received custom SOAP Header to the outgoing message, in other words:

  • This component will read the Custom SOAPHeader from the Message Context Properties
    • The custom header name will be defined on the component configuration and we can read it from the target “http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/SOAPHeader”
  • and will configure this custom header in the OutboundCustomHeaders property used by the WCF-BasicHTTP Adapter.

The OutboundCustomHeaders property is used if you want to specify the custom SOAP headers for outgoing messages. When this property is used, the property must have the <headers> element as the root element. All of the custom SOAP headers must be placed inside the <headers> element

  • If the custom SOAP header value is an empty string, you must assign <headers></headers> or <headers/> to this property

This component is useful if you are implementing CBR operations on legacy service (SOAP – .asmx) using the new WCF-Adapters in BizTalk Server. Notice that the SOAP adapters, still present in BizTalk Server 2016, are obsolete and discontinued.

To use this pipeline component in your projects you just copy the “CarrySOAPHeader.dll” file into “Pipeline Components“ folder that exists in BizTalk Server Installation directory: “..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <version>\Pipeline Components” on every server.

You do not need to add a custom pipeline component to be used by the BizTalk Runtime to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
