APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The JMS Specification states that the
    JMSBytesMessage.getBodyLength() method should return the
    number of bytes in the message body.
    
    When the method is called on a WebSphere MQ JMSBytesMessage, an
    incorrect value is returned. Instead of returning the number of
    bytes in the message body, the method actually returns the
    number of bytes in the body plus the number of bytes in the
    message's RFH2 header.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    USERS AFFECTED:
    This issue affects users of the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS.
    
    Platforms affected:
    All Distributed (iSeries, all Unix and Windows) +Java
    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    The JMSBytesMessage.getBodyLength() method incorrectly included
    the length of the RFH2 header when calculating the number of
    bytes in the message body.
    

Problem conclusion

  • JMSBytesMessage.getBodyLength() has been updated so that it
    only returns the number of bytes contained within the message
    body.
