XMS messages
This section describes
the structure and content of XMS messages
and how applications process XMS messages.
This section contains
the following topics:
Parts of an XMS message An XMS message
consists of a header, a set of properties, and a body.
Header fields in an XMS message
To allow an XMS application
to exchange messages with a WebSphere JMS application,
the header of an XMS message
contains the JMS message header fields.
Properties of an XMS message
This topic describes
the properties of an XMS message
and introduces the three kinds of property supported by XMS:
JMS defined properties, IBM defined properties, and application defined properties.
The body of an XMS message
The body of a message contains application data. However, a message
can have no body, and comprise only the header fields and properties.
Message selectors An XMS application
uses messages selectors to select which messages it wants to receive.
Mapping XMS messages onto WebSphere MQ messages
This topic describes
how the JMS header fields and properties of an XMS message
are mapped onto fields in the header structures of a WebSphere MQ message.
