I'm using VS 2019 and BTS 2020 developer edition. I need to implement a scenario in which BizTalk sits between the client and the REST server (implemented in APS.NET Core) and the client send request to BizTalk as he/she typically sends to REST server. The aim is to practice BizTalk WCF-WebHttp adapters (for both receive and send). My idea is to handle all the API requests and methods in a single receive location, send port, orchestration. How can I achieve it? The reason I'm using orchestration is to map and do other process on the messages later.
- Does this idea wrong? Should we individually create send ports/receive locations for every API method?
- Is there any relation between the operation name of logical port in orchestration and operation name in WCF-WebHttp adapter URL mapping (
<Operation Name="SomeName" ... />)? (to one single orchestration and handle all methods) - How to design the desired orchestration? (I have tried 'Decide' shape (adding rules like
msg_input(BTS.Operation) == "SomeName") to separate different requests identified by URL mapping in the receive location and I was successful in this step, but is it the correct way either? However, I don't have any idea for designing shapes the way to correctly start orchestration. Also, I don't know ho to send requests from rule branches to send port within the orchestration)
I would also appreciate to hear any other suggestions for solving this problem in a different perspective.
