I have a requirement where I need to send an XML file over MQSeries. How do I achieve this using Java APIs?

Rajesh,
Look at this thread:
http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=265&forum=12
Basically, you should have no problem sending XML via MQSeries. Especially in Java, as you simply need to get the XML in the form of a String object, and pass this as the message body when you construct an MQSeries message object.

Thanks for the reply,
But my requirement is that my application has to read a file from some directory and need to send it across. The other side wishes to receive it like a file rather than a string.

Rajesh,
You have a couple of options. Either you programatically turn the XML file into a message or messages and rebuild the file on the other end. One way of doing this is using message groups. The first message in the group would contain information necessary to rebuild the file, like the filename, size, ownership, etc.., and each message that follows would be part of the file. For instance, if I have a 50K XML file, I could break it into 16K chunks (or anything you prefer) which would result in 5 messages. The first message, followed by 16K, 16K, 16K, and 2K. The other side could rebuild the file.
Or, you can use reference messages. These basically act as an MQSeries FTP wrapper. It lets you specify a file on the local machine, and when you place the message to the queue, the queue manager will handle transferring the actual file to the other side. The receiving queue manager will save the file to disk, just like it got FTP'd across.

Second option sounds very intersting. Do you have idea as to how to achieve this?

How about Chapter 31 of the MQSeries Application Programming Guide subsection "The Reference Message Sample Programs"?

Hi Brandon,
gosh, now I have that Jim Steinman (sung by Meat Loaf) song in my head. 
Have a great weekend!
 Stefan
