receive_reply

receive_reply is an http response message to the receive service request.

For the Simple Messaging API, receive_reply contains the retrieved text message, with no additional packaging, in the http response message body. The response message is encoded with UTF-8 encoding (Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8).

If the receive service request times out because no message is available, the receive_reply response message body is empty. In this case, the http extension-header's ums.status field is set to the value "404".

For the Simple Messaging API, receive_reply sets the following extension-header fields in the response message:

ums.service: receive_reply
ums.destination:
ums.domain:
ums.mom: openmq
ums.status: 200 (404 if receive request times out because no message is available)
For the XML Messaging API, the retrieved message (JMS BytesMessage) is transformed into a SOAP message and receive_reply places it in the http response message body. The response message is encoded with UTF-8 encoding (Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8).

If the receive request times out because no message is available, the value of the ums:status attribute in the Service element of the SOAP message header is set to "404".

For the XML Messaging API, receive_reply sets the following attributes of the Service element of the SOAP message header :

<uns:Service
ums:service="receive_reply"
ums:destination=
ums:domain=
ums:mom="openmq"
ums:status="200"/>

For both the Simple Messaging API and the XML Messaging API, a 200 status code indicates the receive service request was successful. All other status codes indicate the receive service request might not be successful.
