The Web Service Respond component allows you to send a response to a web service call previously picked up using a Web Service Receive component.

The configuration interface is straightforward :



Essentially you just need to specify the message identifier received from the Web Service Receive component, and a connection to the same Messaging database. You also need to specify a variable containing the contents that you want to return. Note - messages are generally assumed to be in text form unless your Message variable is of type Object, in which case the message is retrieved as a binary array (byte[]). Conversion between text and binary representations is performed as required according to the Encoding property, accessible only through the SQL Server Integration Services Property window.
