On the latest version of BizTalk (2013): a new adapter was introduced for natively working with REST endpoints, using WCF technology: the WCF-WebHttp Adapter. After the beta version was released we could find some very good articles about this adapter, but since it is a new adapter there's a lot...

With the new WCF-WebHttp Adapter that shipped in BizTalk Server 2013 we now have the ability to specify which HTTP verbs to use – this opens up the possibility of invoking RESTful style applications. In this post, I’ll investigate how we can RESTfully invoke an endpoint that exposes data...

This is one of my demonstrations from BizTalk Saturday at Auckland on 9/02/2013. This event was organised by Bill Chestnut and Nikolai Blackie. I was asked if you could use the same ReST send adapter and dynamically send different ReSTful requests. For example can we use a send adapter to send two GETS...

This is the second in the IPASBR series, see also: Integration Patterns with Azure Service Bus Relay, Part 1: Exposing the on-premise service Integration Patterns with Azure Service Bus Relay, Part 2: Anonymous full-trust .NET consumer As the patterns get further from the simple .NET full-trust consumer...

We're in the process of delivering an enabling project to expose on-premise WCF services securely to Internet consumers. The Azure Service Bus Relay is doing the clever stuff, we register our on-premise service with Azure, consumers call into our .servicebus.windows.net namespace, and their requests...

In the previous article we looked at some of the basic GET operations we can perform using the new REST (WCF-WebHttp) adapter that ships with BizTalk Server 2010 R2. All our examples are based on XML data formats. One of the readers asked the question in the comments, how we can consume a REST end [...

REST is getting wider adoption recently mainly due to the popularity of mobile devices and light weight rich (Ajax) web applications. In such scenarios usage of SOAP based services looks bit of overhead with lot of additional elements and attributes. Majority of the open API’s these days are exposed...

I’ve put up on GitHub a sample WCF error handler for REST services , which returns proper HTTP status codes in response to service errors. The code is very simple – a ServiceBehavior implementation which can be specified in config to tag the RestErrorHandler to a service. Any uncaught exceptions will...

The REST Start Kit for BizTalk Server is about providing support for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE operation, for both Receive and Send ports together with support for both XML and JSON. In a former post , I showed how to expose REST services from BizTalk. However I never got it to work for GET operations...

There is a great article posted by Microsoft which explains how BizTalk can be configured to call a ReST service. You can find it here. Althought this article is based on BizTalk 2010 (.net 4.0), I have tested this with BizTalk 2009 (.net 3.5) and it works. Check it out! Blog Post by: DipeshA

Solutions for consuming REST services from BizTalk has been around for a while, and Jon Flanders has an excellent post about it . However, very little has been told about exposing REST endpoints, and even less using JSON . If you don’t know about JSON, it’s a lightweight data format, commonly used by...
