SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You install Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1). Or, you apply the hotfix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article:

968654 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968654/ ) FIX: A message of the System.Xml.Xmldocument type that is sent from an orchestration is suspended and a routing failure report is generated when you specify the Direct Binding type for the ports in the orchestrations in BizTalk Server 2006 R2.
You have a BizTalk orchestration that produces System.Xml.Xmldocument messages that do not have type definitions.
You create a dynamic send port to process the Xmldocument messages that are sent by the orchestration.
The orchestration receives an incoming message on the receive port. The message contains a DOCTYPE header that includes a Document Type Definition (DTD).

In this scenario, the message that is sent from the orchestration is suspended. Additionally, an error that resembles the following is logged in the Application log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: XLANG/s
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10024

Description:
Uncaught exception (see the 'inner exception' below) has suspended an instance of service '<service instance name>'.
The service instance will remain suspended until administratively resumed or terminated.
If resumed the instance will continue from its last persisted state and may re-throw the same unexpected exception.
InstanceId: <instance id>
Shape name: <shape name>
ShapeId: <shape ID>
Exception thrown from: segment 1, progress 15
Inner exception: The value assigned to property 'BTS.MessageType' is not valid: 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/Any#Root'.

Exception type: InvalidPropertyValueException
Source: Microsoft.XLANGs.BizTalk.Engine
Target Site: Microsoft.BizTalk.Agent.Interop.IBTMessage PrepareMessage(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.XLANGMessage, System.Collections.IList, System.Col

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the BizTalk XLANG engine populates the MessageType context property for messages that do not have type definitions after hotfix 968654 or BizTalk Server 2006 R2 SP1 is installed. Because the document type is also defined in the DTD, the processing error occurs.
