WebSphere Message Service Clients for C/C++ and .NET, Version 1.2 Operating Systems: Linux, Windows

Application defined properties of a message

An XMS application can create and use its own set of message properties. When an application sends a message, these properties are also transmitted with the message. A receiving application, using message selectors, can then select which messages it wants to receive based on the values of these properties.

To allow a WebSphere JMS application to select and process messages sent by an XMS application, the name of an application defined property must conform to the rules for forming identifiers in message selector expressions, as documented in WebSphere MQ Using Java. The value of an application defined property must have one of the following data types: xmsBOOL, xmsSBYTE, xmsSHORT, xmsINT, xmsLONG, xmsFLOAT, xmsDOUBLE, or String (or character array, if you are using the C interface).
