Wrapping outgoing message in a soap envelope

A colleague asked me yesterday what is the best way to wrap an outgoing message with an (empty) soap envelope.

We're posting the message over http, and while it is not a "real" web service, the remote system does require that each request will be wrapped in a soap envelope, although no special information is required in the soap header.

This can be achieved using the XmlAssembler in the send pipeline.

Simply use the XmlTransmit built-in pipeline in the send port, configure your document schema(s) as appropriate and select the system soap envelope schema as the envelope.
