As always - good work Richard, just wanna share my 2 cents...

I think that you should point out that people should use pipelines with a disassembler to be able to do this. Another thing worth mentioning is that you should name the web method and the orchestration operation exactly the same IF you choose to publish your schemas as a web service and not your orchestration. This will create a subscription "under the hood" if you've specified the schema as the message type in your orchestration.

Have loads of more info about BTS and web services if you're interested.

PS: Nice meeting you in Redmond last month Richard, have some interesting business rule projects starting up at the moment, in part because of your session at the conference. :-)

Hey Andreas,

Good comment. If you're promoting fields, it's definitely much safer for web messages to do that in a pipeline. I'll be posting something else today that relates to your second point (naming the operation the same as the web method name).
