MQSeries.net :: View topic - How do force writing msg to dlq with flow w/ soapInput Node

sclarke

I have a flow which has a soap input node operating in gateway mode which also executes a backend web service and sends the soap reply back to the requestor. In certain situations AFTER the soap reply is returned - I write a message to a queue to drive another downstream process. I have a trycatch node wired before writing to the mqoutput node so that I can create a backout message and failure information in a 'backout' queue if the put to the queue fails. This works wonderfully as expected. However - in the exception situation if I also have problems writing to the backout queue - I want the message written to the dead letter queue. Because the trycatch catch terminal is wired to write to our backout queue - if that fails - the message rolls back to the original soap input queue. Of course there - i have the catch wired to handle various soap errors for the original soap request - I don't want the soap requestor to know anything about this - they are long gone.

I can hardwire to the dlq by connecting to the 'failure' terminal of the backout msg mqoutput node and this works - but it doesn't seem right.

thoughts? no flames please....
