In answer to your questions

1) Yes that is correct.

2) In a request response scenario you would obviously be sending a response
message back the format of which is completly under your control but would
have to be agreed out-of-band with the caller. If you meant could you send
other response codes then no.

1) if i use a request-response http receive adapter, then response sends
back a 200 success code, and on the other hand, for a one-way http receive
adapter, the adapter sends back a 202 success code. is this correct?
2) using the request-response http receive adapter, is it possible to send
other content in the response in addition to the 200 success code?

Correlation token is XML string in form of
<BizTalkHttpReceive><CorrelationToken>xxx-GUID-xxx</Correlation
Token></BizTalkHttpReceive>. The GUID can link your future request to the
original message.
Sample usage: If you scenario is a long-running process that immediate
response is not possible, Then you can set it up to return a correlation
token GUID. In you scenario that the user with this GUID, they can query
the result or progress at a later time.
202 is One-way either with no body or XML string containing correlation
token
200 is Request-Response where a response message is being returned.

hey all
from the help doc
"4. After the message has been read and successfully submitted to the

server, the HTTP receive adapter sends an HTTP code 202 back to the client
indicating that the request was accepted.

Optionally, the HTTP receive adapter can send a message correlation token

on the HTTP response. This correlation token represents the message within
BizTalk Server. If the HTTP receive location is in a request-response port,
the adapter returns success code 200 along with the response message. "

my question: i get confused by the term 'correlation token'...dunno what

it means/represents, so if anyone could shed some light on this, that would
be gr8.

secondly, under what situations does the http adapter send back code 202,

and when does it send back code 200?

thanks
