All,

I've been reading different questions regarding issues/problems related to JMS messages (aka MQRFH2 messages) from around the web. So, I have done 3 write ups and posted them to my blog:

(1) JMS (MQRFH2) Message But The User Sees Garbage
http://www.capitalware.com/rl_blog/?p=4786

(2) Handling A JMS (MQRFH2) Message in non-JMS Java Application
http://www.capitalware.com/rl_blog/?p=4811

(3) Creating A JMS (MQRFH2) Message in non-JMS Java Application
http://www.capitalware.com/rl_blog/?p=4823

Hopefully, those blog posting will help people navigate the JMS (aka MQRFH2) message challenges. If there are other JMS message issues then let me know and I'll do more write ups on it (as time permits).

At the risk of starting a controversy, I'd say that if you want to handle the RFH2 header in the message you are already heading down the wrong path.

Use the gmo option MQGMO_GET_PROPERTIES_IN_HANDLE and let the message provide a properties handle you can then use to enumerate the properties on the message.

In the same way on the put create and handle set the properties and pass the properties handle to the put.

Let MQ do the heavy lifting with the alignment needed in the RFH2 header.

Hi,

I don't think you read my blog postings carefully. I said the best solution for using JMS messages is to write the application using IBM MQ classes for JMS.

The post 'Handling A JMS (MQRFH2) Message in non-JMS Java Application' shows how to handle a JMS message either using MQRFH2 class or an MQ message with Named Properties.

That is the whole point of the MQRFH2 class. MQ library will do everything for you. There is just no good (complete) samples provided by IBM.

True. I didn't show an example of it because I wanted to show MQRFH2 class usage. Besides that style is well documented. But just to close the loop, I'll add a 4th post about it.

Update: The other thing I forgot to mention, when you IBM MQ classes for Java and create an MQ message with Named Properties using set***Property methods, MQ will create an MQRFH message WITHOUT 'mcd' and 'jms' folders. I have seen some JMS applications reject this type of message because it is not a complete "JMS message".

I thought you'd be able to create those (mcd and jms folders) as properties, just the same way they show up as properties when you use properties in handle... Are you saying that is not possible?

Again, that is not what I wrote. I said that they would not be created. i.e. The 'mcd' and 'jms' folders would be missing by default. The code would have to explicitly added to them which most people don't realize.

Creating an MQ Message with Named Properties as follows:

Code:
MQMessage sendmsg = new MQMessage();
sendmsg.format = CMQC.MQFMT_STRING;
sendmsg.setStringProperty("SomeText", "TEST");
sendmsg.setIntProperty("SomeNum", 123);
sendmsg.writeString("This is a test message.");
queue.put(sendmsg, pmo);

Does not make it a JMS message that all J2EE applications will accept. That was my point.
