Several data format handlers are included with the product.

The following data format handlers are available with the product.

If you intend to use the standard JMS message class with a body type containing the message then you must use the business objects provided for these body types. To create these business objects, a predefined resource is available. To add this predefined resource, expand your module and then double-click Dependencies. The Dependencies editor opens. Expand Predefined Resources and select Native Body Schema for Native Body DataHandler. Save your work.
