Attributes

Attributes provide the ability to apply security and compression to data in the MQe network. Attributes are set either on a particular queue (available in Java™ only) or on a specific message. An MQeAttribute may contain one of each of the following in any combination:
MQeCompressor
Reduces the number of bytes across the wire; can impact performance.
MQe allows the application developer to select the best compression algorithm for the data being used by the application. In general, the compressor is best selected from empirical testing using data that will be generated by the application in production.
MQeCryptor
Potentially increases the number of bytes across the wire; provides security.
Typically when encrypting data, the amount of data in bytes is increased; this is no exception with MQe.
MQeAuthenticator
Adds bytes to the wire.
Used to provide authentication of the message sender.
