MLLP Adapter behavior - pipeline component development

Filed under: BizTalk, HL7 — eric @ 7:47 pm

One little documented behavior of the MLLP adapter is that it is a streaming adapter. The implications are that if you are developing custom pipeline components, you need to make sure that you stay away from reading the Length of the Stream. What should be done is your pipeline component should read the stream completely before doing it’s ‘work.’ (Loop till Read method returns 0).

I have included this VB and this C# example to look at.

I want to thank support for this bit of info!
