JMS-defined properties of a message

Several JMS-defined properties of a message are supported by both XMS and WebSphere® JMS.

Table 1 lists the JMS-defined properties of a message that are supported by both XMS and WebSphere JMS. For a description of the JMS-defined properties, see Java Message Service Specification, Version 1.1. The JMS-defined properties are not valid for a real-time connection to a broker.

The table specifies the data type of each property and indicates how the value of the property is set for a transmitted message. Some of the properties are set automatically by XMS when an application sends a message or, in the case of JMSXDeliveryCount, when an application receives a message.
