The XML MQSeries Connection has to deal with more than just a data retrieval method when collecting the result of a data retrieval call or a key retrieval call through a MQSeries request. It also has to know the structure of the MQSeries request in which the data retrieval/key retrieval is send to MQSeries. When data is returned to ITP the XML MQSeries Connection has to know the location of the result data in the returned XML tree.
The structure of the XML message can be specified in templates, the location of the result data in the XML tree can be specified at the key RESULT_PATH at the entry in the DID.
MQSeries request
A MQSeries request is composed only by a XML Content template.
One can specify a template for the XML Content.
XML Content of a MQSeries request
The content of a XML message can be anything (is dependent on the structure the server, which reads the MQSeries request from MQSeries , expects). Therefore a content template must be specified in which the structure of the XML Content is specified.
MQSeries response
A MQ response only exists of XML Content.
XML Content of a MQ response
The XML Content of the Response message has to be some XML structure. The key RESULT PATH at the entry definition in the DID document specifies where in this returned XML tree the result of the KEY_RETRIEVAL and DATA_RETRIEVAL are located.
