consume xml from url

Question

i am receiving xml from a url with parameters. there is no wsdl associated with it. i need to create a web client and consume it in biztalk how is it possible without wsdl. or is it possible to consume this xml directly in orchestration and expose as webservice.

any suggestions are highly appreciated considering me as a beginner in using Biztalk orchestrations and message assignements

Thanks & Regards

You can use the HTTP adapter to receive XML from a URL. See the demo in this post.

Answer 2

thank you Mr. Rohit. that gave me the idea on how to do it.

i need to send parameters in the message assignment shape to a url for eg:

i have the url http://servername/ws/service1?parameter1=x1&parameter2=x2&parameter3=x3&parameter4=x4&parameter5=x5

i have the req schema/message with all the 5 elements (x1,x2,x3,x4,x5. with string, date and integer values). i know this is a simple thing to do but i am caught here as i am not a programmer. any help on this please ??

thanks & regards
