We have a generic message flow which looks for a xml field value and based on the value it forwards the message to respective queue.
The problem I am facing is that, I want it to be generic (dynamic).
The XML have namespace, and the namespace can be anything... so how can I access the xml field without hardcoding the namespace.
XML can be anything
<abc:field1 xmlns:abc = "http://schemas.com/abc/">
<abc:sub-field1>value1</adc:sub-field1>
</abc:field1>
<def:field1 xmlns:def = "http://schemas.com/abc/">
<def:sub-field1>value1</def:sub-field1>
</def:field1>
I don't want to hard code something like
InputRoot.XML."abc:field1" .............
Is there a way to access the xml element... I am using WMQI 2.1
Any ideas??

2.1 doesn't really support namespaces properly anyway.
So treat it as a BLOB message, and use POSITION and SUBSTRING to find and extract what you want.
Or read about anonymous field references and FIELDNAME.

You said you were using 2.1. But if you also have v5 available, then use that.
There was a posting here a few months ago about creating a dynamic namespace qualifier based on the namespace in the message. I don't recall how to do it, but a search should bring something up. Then you could hardcode your path using the qualifier like abcd, but not have a hardcoded value for what abcd maps to.
