I'm trying to create a send pipeline that will use enveloping and create a
simple xml document. I get the following error and I cant get past it:
"Token StartElement in state Epilog would result in an invalid XML document."

The enveloping schema is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<b:schemaInfo is_envelope="yes"
xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003" />
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name="Feed">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<b:recordInfo body_xpath="/*[local-name()='Feed' and
namespace-uri()='']" />
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Entry">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>


And the entry schema is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

I've been following the SDK samples but nothing I do can get the pipeline to
work. I'm calling it in the orchestration using
Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.XLANGPipelineManager.Exe cuteSendPipeline.

The messages sent to the pipeline are correct and valid. Any thoughts? I
basically set the document and envelope schema properties in the xml
assembler and it just doesnt work.

Are you trying to add multiple root elements to the output message or
something? I would try to debug and test with the pipeline component
tools or with one of the frameworks like:

Sometimes the XML Assembler gets confused by the definition of the
envelope. Notice that your envelope already defines an Entry element and
declares <xs:any/> under it.

Try declaring it like this instead and see if that makes a difference:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<b:schemaInfo is_envelope="yes"
xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003" />
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:element name="Feed">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<b:recordInfo body_xpath="/*[local-name()='Feed' and
namespace-uri()='']" />
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:any maxOccurs='unbounded'/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
