Hi all

I had a post about one of the context accessor functoids which can be seen here: http://blog.eliasen.dk/2009/04/01/TheContextAccessorFunctoidPartI.aspx

This post is about the other one – the one that can only be used in a map that is used in a receive port.

Basically, the functoid takes in three inputs:

GetReceivedFilename

The first is the name of the property and the second parameter is the namespace of the property schema this property belongs to. The third parameter is an optional string that is returned in case the promoted property could not be read.

This functoid only works in a map that is called in a receive port and only if the receive location uses a pipeline that uses the ContextAccessorProvider pipeline component that is included in he same DLL as the functoids.

What the pipeline component does is, that it takes the context of the incoming message and saves it in a public static member. This way, the functoid can access this static member of the pipeline component and read the promoted properties this way.

Good luck using it.

Since the data is saved in a static member, how will work in case multiple messages are received at the same time?

Hi

The context of the message is saved in a static field that has the "ThreadStatic" attribute set on it, making it static within the thread and not globally. The pipeline component and functoid operate under the assumption that the processing of a message does not change threadbetween the pipeline and the receive port map, and also under the assumption that no two messages are handled within the same thread.

For now these assumptions are valid. Future releases of BizTalk may drop this, who know...
