Hi I would be quite surprised if you can not use standard JMS to send a simple text message to WebSphere MQ.
But you have to use IBM specific headers to mark it as a text message. I have sent JMS messages from older WebLogic 5 and 6 to WebSphereMQ using standard JMS and never have to add specific MQ types. I am sure there have been a lot of people before being able with success to send a text message to WebSphereMQ without having to use these IBM types as JMS properties. Could you send a link to the exact point in the WebSphereMQ documentation where its stated that these MQ types must be set? http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wbihelp/v6rxmx/index.jsp (is just the "welcome page" ;)) Then we will be able to digest this and maybe add some code in Camel to allow IBM types to be set. It would be helpful if you could create a sample java code that sends a TextMessage to IBM WebSphereMQ (just from a plain java main(String args...) > I am not quite certain too what you mean with 'Can't you use String, Integer > or the likes?' The JMS spec mandates that only simple types must be used for JMS properties. By simple types its: Numeric types, String types, etc. So setting a property with the type: com.ibm.MQ.MQ_XXX is not a simple type, according to the JMS spec. So that is why Camel filter out these types. Med venlig hilsen Claus Ibsen ......................................

We are currently using camel 1.4 (testing with 1.4.0.0. & 1.4.2.0). The aim of our project is picking up a short textmessage from the activeMQ queue and sending it to a websphere queue. However for websphere too accept textmessages it seems from previous testing a few IBM specific properties in the JMSheader must be set accordingly: property: JMS_IBM_Format must be of format: MQC.MQFMT_STRING property: JMS_IBM_MsgType must be set as MQC.MQMT_REQUEST property: JMSReplyTo must also be set to a valid replyToqueue on the ibm mq. (A lot of reading about these properties may be found at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wbihelp/v6rxmx/index.jsp ) Unless these minimum parameters are set it appears the receiving application will not accept our messages. Do you believe with using camel it would be possible to solve this task? I am not quite certain too what you mean with 'Can't you use String, Integer or the likes?' Is there an alternative solution to what we are trying to achieve? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bridging-the-ActiveMQ-with-IBM-Websphere-using-Camel-tp19623329s22882p19623857.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
