Message model objects: wildcard attributes

A wildcard attribute allows unmodelled attributes to appear in a message.

The Process Content and Namespace properties control the namespace to which attributes that appear in place of the wild card must belong.

MRM domain
If you enable validation in your message flow, and your message is in the MRM domain, wildcard attributes are validated against the model according to the following rules:
  • If Process Content is set to strict, only attributes which are declared in the same message set will be allowed to appear in place of the wildcard attribute.
  • If Process Content is set to lax or skip, any attribute will be allowed to appear in place of the wildcard attribute.
Tip: If the namespace property is set to the namespace of the message set, these rules are then similar to the behavior of the XMLNSC domain in validating mode.
