Overview

Attached is a project containing a sample transport that allows data in an XML message to be written to a database. The transport is included in a simple assembly that writes XML received over HTTP to the database. For example, it allows XML messages like this one to be inserted into a single database table:

This is an example of an assembly that allows the user to set the basic auth credentials from the payload, as opposed to setting them ad design time inside the assembly.

It uses the following:

Sample assembly that dynamically transforms multipart data.      What this assembly does is allow you to pass a transformation file (textSchema XSD or XSLT) along with source data to transform in a request and deliver it to an SFTP server which is also defined in the request.

Attached is an example of implementing an assembly with a secured pop3 scheduled in transport.

CC provides the ability to override a transport implemenation for every transport (look for Transport Class in the cc help for further information), and the approach taken in this example is to extend the delivered Scheduled Email In Transport and add the necessary properties to support pop3 over ssl.

Here’s a simple Cape Clear assembly that demonstrates a typical document processing chain. It takes an XML document containing some shipping information detailing items purchased by a customer and generates a corresponding invoice document in PDF format suitable for printing. The assembly highlights how easy it is to write custom assembly components that implement third party libraries – in this case Apache FOP is used to help generate the PDF output.

A common requirement for assemblies is the need to send requests between web services. This can be achieved by creating a HTTP-Out transport, but this approach has some drawbacks:

Introduction

The attached assembly contains some code that allows you to implement custom mediation steps easier than ever before. There are two significant changes: firstly you don’t have to introduce any dependencies on Cape
Clear APIs and secondly, you can choose how you want the data passed to your code.
