BizTalk Server 2013: New Adapters
Introduction
BizTalk 2013 is currently in CTP and you can easily get access to it by setting up a BizTalk server on Azure. This Article is created to inform you about the new adapters in BizTalk 2013. As BizTalk also moves towards support for the cloud a few handy adapters have emerged, they are intended for Windows Azure Service Bus entities like Relays, Topics, and Queues. Including a brand new adapter to communicate with RESTful services. One of the important adapters the SFTP (both for send and receive). I would also mention that the SharePoint adapter has been updated to provide the option to use client-side or server-side object models to interface with SharePoint.
SB-Messaging
The SB-Messaging adapter to send and receive messages from Service Bus entities like Queues, Topics, and Relays. You can use the SB-Messaging adapters to bridge the connectivity between Windows Azure and on-premises BizTalk Server, thereby enabling users to create a typical hybrid application. The topics in this section provide instructions on how to configure an SB-Messaging receive location and a send port to receive and send messages from the Service Bus entities.

WCF-WebHttp
The send adapter sends HTTP messages to a service from a BizTalk message. The receive location receives messages from a RESTful service. For GET and DELETE request, the adapter does not use any payload. For POST and PUT request, the adapter uses the BizTalk message body part to the HTTP content/payload.

Updated SharePoint Services Adapter
The SharePoint adapter in BizTalk Server 2013 is updated to either uses the SharePoint Server Side Object Model (SSOM) or the Client Side Object Model (CSOM). The SharePoint Adapter available with previous versions of BizTalk Server always used SSOM. The SharePoint adapter with BizTalk Server 2013 adds the option of using CSOM.
