I solved the problem:
1. instead of sub-classing the BizTalk XmlAssembler class, I wrote my own
pipeline component that takes the message stream, parses it, removes the
namespace & reads it back into the stream & then puts it back in the
message.
2. I placed my custom pipeline component in the Encode shape of the
pipeline. If I want to, I can use the XmlAssembler in the Assemble shape.
This is more effective than trying to sub-class the standard BizTalk class,
and it still lets me implement the functionality of both.
Thanks,
Stan
