WCF Adapters Property Schema and Properties

  • Article

Read about the promoted properties in the WCF adapter property schema. The WCF adapters assign values to the properties that you can use in your application. WCF adapter also provides a mechanism to write but not promote the custom properties to the BizTalk message context, and a mechanism to promote the custom properties to the BizTalk message context. For more details, see SOAP Headers with Published WCF Services.

Namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2006/01/Adapters/WCF-properties

Action

Specify the SOAPAction header field for outgoing messages. You can specify this value in two different ways: the single action format and the action mapping format. If you set this property in the single action format—for example, http://contoso.com/Svc/Op1 — the SOAPAction header for outgoing messages is always set to the value specified in this property.

If you set this property in the action mapping format, the outgoing SOAPAction header is determined by the BTS.Operation context property. For example, if this property is set to the following XML format and the BTS.Operation property is set to Op1, the WCF send adapter uses http://contoso.com/Svc/Op1 for the outgoing SOAPAction header.

<BtsActionMapping>
<Operation Name="Op1" Action="http://contoso.com/Svc/Op1">
<Operation Name="Op2" Action="http://contoso.com/Svc/Op2">
</BtsActionMapping>

If outgoing messages come from an orchestration port, orchestration instances dynamically set the BTS.Operation property with the operation name of the port. If outgoing messages are routed with content-based routing, you can set the BTS.Operation property in pipeline components. This property is automatically promoted from incoming messages with the single action format.

Type: String Default value: An empty string Applies to: All WCF send adapters

AffiliateApplicationName

Specify the affiliate application to use for Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO). This property is required if the UseSSO property is set to True.

</headers>

Type: String Applies to: All WCF adapters

Identity

Specify the identity of the service that a receive location provides or a send port expects. The values that can be specified for the Identity property differ according to the security configuration. These settings enable clients to authenticate services. In the handshake process between clients and services, the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) infrastructure will ensure that the identity of the services matches the values of the clients.

Example:

<identity>
<userPrincipalName value="username@contoso.com"/>
</identity>

Type: String Default value: An empty string Applies to: All WCF adapters

InboundBodyLocation

Specify the data selection for the SOAP Body element of incoming WCF messages. For more information about how to use the InboundBodyLocation property, see Specifying the Message Body for the WCF Adapters.

Type: String Default value: UseBodyElement

Applicable values are:

  • UseEnvelope: Create the BizTalk message body part from the entire SOAP Envelope of an incoming message.
  • UseBodyPath: Use the body path expression in the InboundBodyPathExpression property to create the BizTalk message body part. The body path expression is evaluated against the immediate child element of the SOAP Body element of an incoming message. This property is valid only for solicit-response ports.

Applies to: All WCF adapters except WCF-NetMsmq send

InboundBodyPathExpression

Specify the body path expression to identify a specific part of an incoming message used to create the BizTalk message body part. This body path expression is evaluated against the immediate child element of the SOAP Body node of an incoming message. If this body path expression returns more than one node, only the first node is chosen for the BizTalk message body part. This property is required if the InboundBodyLocation property is set to UseBodyPath. For more information about how to use the InboundBodyPathExpression property, see WCF Adapters Property Schema and Properties.

Type: String Default value: An empty string Applies to: All WCF adapters except the WCF-NetMsmq send adapter

Note

The IsFault property cannot be used to check the received messages for transport errors such as the HTTP 404 (File or Directory Not Found) error.

Type: Boolean Applies to: All WCF adapters except the WCF-NetMsmq send adapter

LeaseTimeout

Specify the maximum lifetime of an active pooled connection. After the specified time elapses, the connection closes after the current request is serviced.

The WCF-NetTcp adapter leverages the NetTcpBinding class to communicate with an endpoint. When using the NetTcpBinding in load-balanced scenarios, consider reducing the default lease time-out. For more information about load balancing when using the NetTcpBinding, see the appropriate topic in See Also.

Type: String Default value: 00:05:00 Applies to: WCF-NetTcp receive adapter

MaxConcurrentCalls

Note

This property cannot be tracked in the BAM Primary Import database with tracking profiles.

Type: Integer Default value: 200 Applies to: All WCF receive adapters except the WCF-Custom and WCF-CustomIsolated adapters

MaxConnections

Specify the maximum number of connections that the listener can have waiting to be accepted by the application. When this quota value is exceeded, new incoming connections are dropped rather than waiting to be accepted.

Note

Because this is an adapter handler property, this property cannot be configured in pipeline components and orchestrations.

Note

This property cannot be tracked in the BAM Primary Import database with tracking profiles.

Type: Integer Default value: 10 Applies to: WCF-NetNamedPipe adapter, WCF-NetTcp adapter

MaxReceivedMessageSize

Specify the maximum size, in bytes, for a message (including headers) that can be received on the wire. The size of the messages is bounded by the amount of memory allocated for each message. You can use this property to limit exposure to denial of service (DoS) attacks.

  • EncryptAndSign: Messages are encrypted and signed. To use this protection level, you must enable Active Directory Integration for MSMQ

Applies to: WCF-NetMsmq adapter

MsmqSecureHashAlgorithm

Specify the hash algorithm to be used for computing the message digest. This property is not available if the MsmqProtectionLevel property is set to None.

Type: String Default value: SHA1

Applicable values are: MD5, SHA1, SHA25, SHA512

Applies to: WCF-NetMsmq adapter

NegotiateServiceCredential

Specify whether the service credential is provisioned at the client out of band, or is obtained from the service to the client through a process of negotiation. Such a negotiation is a precursor to the usual message exchange.

If the MessageClientCredentialType property equals None, Username, or Certificate, setting this property to False implies that the service certificate is available at the client out of band and that the client needs to specify the service certificate. This mode is interoperable with SOAP stacks that implement WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation.

If the MessageClientCredentialType property is set to Windows, setting this property to False specifies Kerberos-based authentication. This means that the client and service must be part of the same Kerberos domain. This mode is interoperable with SOAP stacks that implement the Kerberos token profile (as defined at OASIS WSS TC) as well as WS-Trust and WS-SecureConversation.

When this property is True, it causes a .NET SOAP negotiation that tunnels SPNego exchange over SOAP messages.

Type: Boolean Default value: True Applies to: WCF-WSHttp adapter

OpenTimeout

Specify a time span value that indicates the interval of time provided for a channel open operation to complete.

Note

This property cannot be tracked in the BAM Primary Import database with tracking profiles.
