Hello, I installed the trial version of the MissionKit, FlowForce Server and MapForce Server last week and created a solution where I can take a cXML input file and convert it to a soap format and then call one of our webservices to process the soap call. The only problem I have is setting up a FlowForceServer job where I receive the file via HTTP Post as a stream. I can only make it work by setting up a triggerfile as Job input parameter and make the job available as a webservice. When I then go and enter the webservice URL in my local browser, I get a screen where I can input the location of the source xml file and then the service picks that file and processes it. How do I set the input parameter to receive the file via HTTP Post as a stream? Or what are the parameters I have to set in the HTTP Post? currently we use Content-Type text/xml for the transmission in our current environment. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I ran into a similar issue when posting JSON data to the mapping exposed as the web service.
Click Insert tab, then Insert input as string -- map this to CXML/XML as 'Parse Strings to XML', hope this will work for your scenario.

See Island's screenshot here, in case it's not clear from above.

You need to change the mapping and re-deploy the service as well to use new input.
