      Hello all,

      I have a question related to host and receive and send handlers.

      I create a new send_host and after that to Binding the Send Ports to the New Send Host i create a new send handler.

      This is very clear when i use the File Adapter.

      But when i use the soap adapter wich sends and receive messages how should i create the host and the handlers.

      I have an request-response port that sends an message to a web service and receives another message.

      I think that soap uses both in process and isolated hosts. To send a message uses in process host and to receive uses isolated host. Is this observation correct? And if it is, how do i set the host and handler for this situation?

      Best Regards

      You’re confusing two concepts. The fact that the SOAP adapter supports two-way operations doesn’t change the relationship between ports, adapters and handlers.

      What I mean by this is that for a send port, even a two-way one, what matters is still the send handler associated with the adapter. The receive handler doesn’t enter the equation at all.

      Similarly, if you’re talking about a receive location, the fact that the port might be two way doesn’t change that only the receive handler is important there.

      The thing with isolated hosts and isolated handlers is related to the fact that the *receive* side of the SOAP adapter (i.e. receive locations, NOT receiving responses in send ports) runs in IIS, and thus must run in the context of an isolated host.

      Does this clear things up a bit?
