Custom header elements with mustUndestand="true" and WCF adapters

I am testing Biztalk WCF basicHttp adapter and a message with
mustUnderstand="true" attribute in SOAP header element is rejected by
the adapter, SOAP Fault faultcode="s:MustUnderstand". In eventlog
there is a warning indicating
System.ServiceModel.MustUnderstandSoapException in message
processing.
In WCF there is ServiceBehaviorAttribute ValidateMustunderstand
property that can be set to false but how this is done in Biztalk WCF
adapters?

Thanks

Is this a One Way web service call? Are you specifying Envelope,
Body, or XPath for the message body?

I am testing with a request-response web service, specifing the Body
of the SOAP message. I simply published an orchestration as a web
service to test SOAP header and body processing and without
mustUnderstand="true" everything works fine.

This is a solution to the problem I described last week

There is an article "Using Custom Behaviors with the BizTalk WCF
Adapters, Part 1" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc952299.aspx
describing custom behavior use in Biztalk WCF adapters.
Part 2 of the article is not yet published, it will show how to write
and configure custom beheviors, yet part 1 of the article gave enough
advice to solve the problem.

To get WCF adapter with basicHttp binding to accept messages with
custom headers and mustUnderstand="true" you must:

1. Create a class that inherits from BehaviorExtensionElement and
returns MustUnderstandBehavior set to false.

using System;
using System.ServiceModel.Configuration;
using System.ServiceModel.Description;

namespace BehaviorExtensions
{
public class MustUnderstandValidationElement :
BehaviorExtensionElement
{
protected override object CreateBehavior()
{
return new MustUnderstandBehavior(false);
}
public override Type BehaviorType
{
get
{
return typeof(MustUnderstandBehavior);
}
}
}
}

You must sign the assembly and install it into the GAC

2. Add behaviorextension to machine.config file. This makes the
extension visible in Biztalk custom adapter configuration.

<system.serviceModel>
<extensions>
<behaviorExtensions>
<add name="mustUnderstand"
type="BehaviorExtensions.MustUnderstandValidationElement,
BehaviorExtensions, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=559c32f3f0bc2f74" />

3. You must use Custom Isolated adapter with basicHttp binding. In
adapter configuration Behavior tab right click EndpointBehavior and
select Add extension. Now there should be "mustUnderstand" extension
available, select it and the problem should be solved.

i need to work on setting up HTTP Header fields( as i am working with WCF basichttp binding) in cutom pipeline.

i.e I need to stuff information like Senderidentificatonnumber, Targetidentficationnumber, timestamp......etc. in http header of custom send pipeline.

Please let me know how to access http header values or how to set http header values from custom pipeline

Hi satya,

In "BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Code Samples" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/bb608378.aspx
there is a sample project "Using Custom SOAP Headers with the WCF
Adapters" that shows how to modify soap headers in WCF adapter. I
think you can use the pipeline component of the sample for your
project.
