It would be great if there was a receive adapter that supported polling WCF services. This seems to be a common requirement.

Another BizTalk user also wanting this functionality has posted in the forum here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/biztalkr2adapters/thread/09836a07-0b26-4ab1-b1e8-4344950d0c7e

While polling a WCF service is a great feature, its not intuitive. A web service is mostly used to service a request for 'query' or 'modify' some kind of database, provide common function across an organization, SOA, B2B etc.

If polling a service, yields meaningful response only 20% of the time (which i have seen in most cases), would be unnecessary waste of resources.

When polling a web service, in most cases, requires some sort of begin/end dates for a response to be more relevant. It may not be possible to provide an intuitive way to pass such data from BizTalk Administration Console.

Better alternative would be to use MSMQ, WCF-SQL polling mechanism.
