RELATED IDEAS

Provide an option in CICS TS (as a WEBSERVICE requester) to use a JMS message type of jms_text instead of existing jms_bytes

Currently CICS TS 4.1 when acting a webservice requester ( EXEC CICS INVOKE WEBSERVICE) and using MQ transport, CICS specifies a JMS message type of jms_bytes.
"We are testing a CICS outbound web service (implemented on a Unix platform).
For this specific service we must use MQ.
The URI in the INVOKE WEBSERVICE looks like this
"jms:/queue?destination=A.CV00.AO.WEBSERVICES_REQUEST@SQ1T&targetService=/ACV/SendHoldStatus/1"
The message arrives but the receiver cann't handle the message.
Part of the RFH-header contains:
<mcd>
<Msd>jms_bytes</Msd>
</mcd>
<jms>
<Dst>queue://SQ1T/A.CV00.AO.WEBSERVICES_REQUEST</Dst>
</jms>
And that is were is goes wrong, because the receiver expects a jms_text
message. "
Background:
CICS apar PK20393 from 2006 which is incorporated into base CICS TS 4.1.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
DFHPITQ has been changed to set a JMS message type of jms_bytes from jms_text.
.
From the email exchanges it was revealed that CICS changed to using
jms_bytes for interoperability with other IBM products and based on recommendations from the the W3C SOAP/JMS spec that highlights concerns with using TextMessage -
see http://www.w3.org/TR/soapjms/#textmessage-considerations.

Customer is asking for an option to allow them to specify jms_text or jms_bytes in CICS.

    This requirement has been re-evaluated. Looking at current plans, it is not likely that this would be implemented in the next two CICS TS releases, so correspondingly this requirement is being rejected. You have an opportunity to resubmit in eighteen months time if you wish it to be considered then.
