ebXML Messaging with BizTalk Server

Covast, the global B2B partner of Microsoft, announced the release of the free trial version of their ebMS Adapter for Microsoft BizTalk Server. This Adapter seems to be the easiest way to implement an ebXML Message Service with BizTalk Server. The software is built as a set of pipeline, configuration and monitoring components fully integrated in BizTalk Server’s architecture, thus taking full advantage of the scalability and manageability of the BizTalk Server platform.

The implementation of the ebMS Adapter is quite convenient as the software license is offered for free. The only cost for the user will be a small monthly fee for phone support and maintenance offered by Covast.

You can download and try out the ebMS Adapter by visiting http://www.covast.com.

It would be really interesting to find out if you know of any case where BizTalk Server was required to work with ebXML and how that problem was solved (if it was solved).

Thank you!
