BizTalk Server 2020 – 20 days, 20 posts – day 18. Another blog post about the topic and project BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions UtilityPack, but this time it is a brand new component: XML Namespace Management Pipeline Component.
XML Namespace Management Pipeline Component
This custom XML Namespace Management Pipeline Component it is basically the opposite of the XML Namespace Remover Pipeline Component. It is a pipeline component for BizTalk Server which can be used in any stage of both receive and send pipelines that allow you to add or change the namespace to inbound and outbound BizTalk Messages.
Once again, this component allow you to add a namespace to inbound and outbound BizTalk Messages, transforming the root of the message from this:
<sample> <to>Sandro</to> <from>Pereira</from> </sample>
Into this:
<sample xmlns="http://blog.sandro-pereira.com/"> <to>Sandro</to> <from>Pereira</from> </sample>
Or change the existing namespace of inbound and outbound BizTalk Messages, transforming the root of the message from this:
<sample xmlns="http:/demo/"> <to>Sandro</to> <from>Pereira</from> </sample>
Into this:
<sample xmlns="http://blog.sandro-pereira.com/"> <to>Sandro</to> <from>Pereira</from> </sample>
This component requires one configuration that is the TargetNamespace in which you specify the namespace you want to set on the message.
To use this pipeline component in your projects you just copy the BizTalk.PipelineComponents.NamespaceMgmt.dll file into the Pipeline Components folder that exists in the BizTalk Server installation directory:
- ..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Pipeline Components;
on every server.
You do not need to add this custom pipeline component to be used by the BizTalk Runtime to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
