Some Overdue Plugging
A couple of blog entries that I wanted to highlight, but I've been a bit late blogging on (blame short-sharp-"just do this project before Christmas would you?" type work). First, I'm sure you've all seen it by now, but Scott Colestock is continuing his barnstorming work on BizTalk deployment with NAnt. Check it out. BAT files are so 1980's ;-) If you're not doing something similar in your deployments (either through your own work, or using Scott's) then you are really missing a trick. Also, a big ......

Document splitting post-receive
An interesting scenario came up this afternoon. I receive a bunch of different documents containing address changes, which I map to my canonical "address changes" format in the receive port.

As far as I can see, to do this I'm going to have to write the canonicalised document out to disk, then read it back in from disk and split it in the corresponding receive pipeline. This feels awfully ......
