How to set message property without using JMS to create XML file

Question

Hi I am new to Websphere MQ C++, I need to know how to set message property without using JMS msg.setStringPropery(" ", " "). I am using Xerces XML Parser btw. Please help me to solve this. Thanks! :)

The V7 MQI features (MQSUB, Message Handles, properties etc.) were not incorporated into the V7 C++ classes. Furthermore, IBM has announced that the C++ classes are functionally stabilized. That means they are still supported but no new function is being added to them.

You could wrap the MQI in your own C++ API if you want to use full function of WMQ calls - and not try to mix and match ImqMessage and MQSETMP. So you would use all of the C API calls, including MQSETMP, rather than using ImqQueueManager and etc and then trying to invoke just MQSETMP.

Either that or use the C++ Message Service Client and the ImqMessage.setStringPropery method. The Message Service Client is basically the JMS API implemented in C++ so you have all the normal JMS facilities (like administered objects in a JNDI namespace, for example). It is the "native" interface of WMQ C++ classes so it isn't clear why you would not want to use that.
