        Hi,

         I am trying to build a wrapper for a web application, which has a Login page, and after the login some form based business logic.

        The wrapper should be accessible via Web Service. Is is possible or wise to use Biztalk Server 2006 for this task?

        The wrapper will have to login at the web applikation using HttpRequests. The HTML in the Response will have to be parsed and some information must be extracted. After the login, succeeding HttpRequests containing parameters like SessionID, hidden fields extracted from a previous request and so on will have to be sent. Cookies might also be an issue, if the web application uses them to keep track of a session.

         Does anybody know if there is a efficient way to implement this scenario using Biztalk 2006?

         

        Thank you

          Anon,

          I would leave your front-end as a classical web server – much easier to handle the pages and cookies and so on. However, it might make a lot of sense if you have a BizTalk orchestration behind the web server handling the application flow. It depends on your application.
