Which message domain and format to use?

Each message set that you create specifies a domain, which determines the parser that is used when parsing and writing all messages that are defined within that message set. Each domain is suited to a particular class of messages (fixed-length binary, delimited text, XML, and so on). Additionally, some domains support several physical formats (sometimes called wire formats). Before you create a message set, decide which domain and physical format to use.

Select one of the following domains:
MRM
For modeling a wide range of messages, including XML, fixed-format binary, and formatted text.
XML, XMLNS, or XMLNSC
For messages conforming to the W3C XML standard.
JMSMap or JMSStream
For certain types of message that are produced by the implementations of the Java Messaging Service standard. For a full description of JMS message processing, see WebSphere Broker JMS Transport.
IDOC
For messages in SAP IDoc format.
MIME
For handling multipart MIME messages, such as SOAP with Attachments, or RosettaNet.

Choose the domain that best fits your messaging needs:

Alternatively, you can specify your own domain. Specify your own domain if you are using WebSphere Message Broker, and you have written a user-defined parser to parse your messages, instead of using the supplied parsers.
