The <cics:atomservice> element is the root element for an Atom configuration file.

Attributes

type=typevalue
The type of Atom document that is being configured. This attribute is required. typevalue must match the document type specified in the ATOMTYPE attribute of the ATOMSERVICE resource definition that references this Atom configuration file.
type="feed"
An Atom feed document.
type="service"
An Atom service document.
type="collection"
An Atom collection document.
type="category"
An Atom category document.
version=version
The version of the Atom configuration file format. If this attribute is not specified, the version defaults to 1.
version="1"
Set this version if the Atom configuration file is compatible with Atom feeds in previous releases of CICS. This value is the default.
version="2"
Set this version if the Atom configuration file sets any of the following XML elements and attributes:
  • <cics:urimap> element is included
  • <cics:bind> element includes an xmltransform attribute
  • <cics:bind> element is not included
The Atom feed is supported only in this release of CICS.
xmnls:cics="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/cics/atom/atomservice"
The namespace declaration to bind the configuration file to the CICS® Atom XML namespace. Do not change this namespace declaration.
xmnls:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
The namespace declaration to bind the configuration file to the Atom XML namespace. Do not change this namespace declaration.

The namespace declaration xmnls:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app" is used to bind an Atom document to the namespace for the Atom Publishing Protocol. However, this namespace declaration does not appear in an Atom configuration file for an Atom feed or collection, because those Atom configuration files do not contain any elements with the app: prefix. When CICS uses the <app:edited> element in an Atom document that it serves for a collection, CICS adds this namespace declaration automatically. The namespace declaration is required in an Atom configuration file for an Atom service or category document.
