Provide the JSON source to CICS when running z/OS Connect within a CICS Liberty Profile JVM

The architectural component of our online applications interrogates the data stream passed from various input channels to determine process options based on fields embedded in the message. The message format is variable by service and may contain multiple application transaction requests. Being able to access the JSON message directly and scan it for specific tags avoids the need to maintain application message layouts at the architectural level. Specifically, we would like to see a CICS container attached to the task that is similar to the CICS Web Services DFHWS-BODY, which contains the original XML payload. This new container would have the original JSON message. Also it should be noted that CICS previously provided the JSON message prior to the Liberty JVM implementation in the DFHREQUEST container.

    This RFE is satisfied by CICS TS 5.3 which is generally available from December 11th 2015.

    In CICS TS 5.3 changes have been regarding JSON support. The Java code populates the DFH-REQUEST container before it calls CICS to process the request message. The exceptions to this are when the HTTP method is GET, DELETE, or HEAD, where there is no JSON input data.
