Exposing a webserivce (Biztalk)

[doron]

Hi all,


I'm exposing an orchestration as a web service which simply replies
the same object it receives by calling an internal ws I wrote which
does the same thing. (getting the object and returning it)


While I was using a simple string the circle worked fine, but after I
switched the object from string to my own type, which is defined in the

original ws, something went wrong.


I have a single function called update which looks like:


public Contact update(Contact contact)
{
return contact;



}


for some reason when I'm trying to use the exposed ws in one of my
projects the method looks like:

void update(ref contact)


why is that?


Thank you,


Doron.

Hello doron,

Could u show the proxy class and declaration of your object?
Seems that WS lost that your class is serialized
