Just a quick question to the group. If you had to implement both a SOAP and REST listener for requests in WMB 7.0.x that utilized the same backend tranformation and data logic but only had to expose the interface those 2 ways - how would you do it?

Would you create 3 flows? One for the HTTP input, one for the SOAP input and a common transformation logic flow? Or, would you wire a single flow with only a HTTP input node and route/transform the SOAP and HTTP gets/posts using custom transformation nodes?

Any other thoughts?

One of the benefits of using an ESB comes from their out-of-the-box support for doing transport protocol conversion. So, you should be able to expose the same business (transformation in your case) logic via multiple protocols (rest/http, soap/http) without having to resort to custom coding.

I'd set up 3 flows: One for receiving the REST requests, one for SOAP, and a common subflow that does the transformation.
