Receive a http post in BizTalk orchestration

Question

I have a wcf restful service that accepts http posts.

I am trying to send this to an orchestration with a rcv message set as XmlDocument. (Since no subscribers where found when set to system.string)

The message is received in the orchestration but the xmldocument is invalid so its not possible to do anything with the data(Im sending a string in the http post). (When I attempt it I get an error that the data at the root level is invalid).

How can I get the http post string into my orchestration? Do I need to add a custom pipelinecomponent that adds xml tags to the string to make it a valid XmlDocument?

Answer 1

My solution:

Created a flat file schema where the string in the http post is added to one line. Added a pipeline with a flat file dissasembler with the schema. Use xpath in orchestration to retrieve the string.
