TCPIP BC information

[sfulper]

All,

Looks like I'm not the only one looking for information on exactly how to use the TCPIP BC. I've set up a simple test project (BPEL w/inbound TCPIP server). I can see my test project receiving data ('cause it appears to have detailed/trace debugging turned on by default). But the data never gets returned back to my next BPEL activity (an assignment). I also don't see it returning an ACK to my sender.

This could, of course, be simply due to how I have things configured. But I can't find any (good) detailed documentation and the link to the demo project (http://www.glassfishwiki.org/jbiwiki/attach/TCPIPBC/TCPIPDemo.zip) from http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=TCPIPBC appears to be bad.

Can anyone provide any guidance?

Thanks,
Sean

I have fixed the link to the demo project. The correct link is:

Thanks to Mark, I've got the TCPIP echo client and server working. However, is uses XML messages...

I want to send an unformatted (non-XML) string (turns out its actually formatted like HL7, but the HL7BC wouldn't be happy with it).

I tried setting the recordType to "string" in the TCPIP (server's) .wsdl file, but the receive activity in the BP does not pass the received data on to the subsequent assign activity (it actually disconnects from the calling client. Its hard to tell exactly what is going on from the GlassFish log.

Can anyone confirm that the TCPIP BC will handle non-XML messages? (any tricks to doing so?).

Thanks,
Sean
