This task topic describes how to create
a new message set and message set project using the New Message Set wizard.
The New Message
Set wizard also creates a new message set project.
Note: You can also
use a Quick Start wizard to create a message set, a message set project and
other resource files that you need to create a new application.

The
New
Message Set wizard supports the following options:
- XML documents (general)
- Web services (SOAP)
- Binary data (for example, C or COBOL structures)
- Text data (for example, CSV, SWIFT, or HL7)
- MIME documents other than Web services
- Data for WebSphere Adapters
You can select your required option, either from the read-only drop down
list, or by selecting the appropriate check box. If you select an option using
the drop down list, the corresponding check box is greyed out and you cannot
select it.


Note that you can later add a custom
domain using the message set editor.


The message
domain and the wire format created is inferred from the selection you make.
The mapping between the selection, the domain, and the wire format created
is described in the following table:
Selection |
Inferred domain |
Wire format created |
XML documents (general) |
XMLNSC |

Web services (SOAP) |
SOAP and XLMNSC |

Binary data (for example, C or COBOL structures) |

Text data (for example, CSV, SWIFT, or HL7) |

If you click
Finish on
the second page of the
New Message Set wizard,
the message set that is created has the following default property
values:

To create a new message set:
You can now create some message definitions
in the new message set. You can either create new message definitions from
scratch, or create them based on existing artifacts such as WSDL, XSD, DTD,
C, or COBOL files. Use the Message Definition File wizard
and the Message Definition File From wizard
to help you with this.
