JSON Decoder in custom pipeline is not working

Question

I am using BizTalk+ESB. I send a request to a REST service. Using this pipeline.

Which uses the JSONEncoder . The rest service posts a message in the event log, letting me know the process was completed. The issue is, on the response, I get this error:

"The content type application/json; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8)."*

This is the response pipeline:

It acts as if the JSONDecoder is not processing the response message.

The request is made using ESB Itinerary, and a WCF Web Service in BizTalk.

Any suggestions?

You need to use the WCF-WebHttp Adapter for a RESTful service. See WCF-WebHttp Adapter (Microsof.com)

Microsoft BizTalk Server uses the WCF-WebHttp adapter to send messages to RESTful services. The WCF-WebHttp send adapter sends HTTP messages to a service from a BizTalk message. The receive location receives messages from a RESTful service. For GET and DELETE request, the adapter does not use any payload. For POST and PUT request, the adapter uses the BizTalk message body part to the HTTP content/payload.

The WCF-WSHttp is expecting a SOAP envelope and XML see What Is the WCF-WSHttp Adapter? (Microsof.com).

The WCF-WSHttp adapter provides full access to the SOAP security, reliability, and transaction feature
