         Hello All,

        I’m currently developing an interface to UPS worldship. Any message send to them must be immediately preceded (‘concatenated’ they say) by an access request. So,using the HTTP adapter I need to POST something like this:

        <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

        <AccessRequest xml:lang=”en-US”>
            
              …. stuff…..
        </AccessRequest>

        <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

        <ShipmentRequest>
           
          <Request>

             ……stuff….
          </Request>
           
        <ShipmentRequest>

        How can I get this ‘concatenation’ done? I’ve tried multipart messages but that won’t put out this structure. Neither can I

        specify an XSD for it.

         

        Any help is greatly appreciated!

        Rob.

           My first thought was a custom Http adapter, that could append all parts of a multipart message to the output.

          Another idea is to use a flat file schema:

          Root (delimited, infix, hexidecimal, 0x0D 0x0A)
               AccessRequestField
               ShipmentRequestField

          -make the two fields distinguished fields

          In an orchestration message assignment:

          xmlDoc.Load(“<Root><AccessRequestField /><ShipmentRequestField /></Root>”);
          FlatFile = xmlDoc;

          xmlDoc = AccessRequestMessage;
          FlatFile. AccessRequestField = xmlDoc.OuterXml;

          xmlDoc = ShipmentRequestMessage
          FlatFile. ShipmentRequestField = xmlDoc.OuterXml;

          Use a custom send pipeline with the flat file assembler

               Thanks a lot Greg,

              I’ll try the flat file assemble approach.

              When I get it going, I’ll post it here [:)]

              Greetings,

              Rob.
