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. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v6.0 Platform Fix Pack 6.0.2.6 -------- -------------------- Windows tbc AIX tbc HP-UX (PA-RISC) tbc HP-UX (Itanium) tbc Solaris (SPARC) tbc Solaris (x86-64) tbc iSeries tbc Linux (x86) tbc Linux (x86-64) tbc Linux (zSeries) tbc Linux (Power) tbc Linux (s390x) tbc v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.0.2 -------- -------------------- Windows U200302 AIX U822354 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U822349 HP-UX (Itanium) U822351 Solaris (SPARC) U822353 Solaris (x86-64) U822394 iSeries tbc Linux (x86) U822348 Linux (x86-64) U822393 Linux (zSeries) U822352 Linux (Power) U822350 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'Websphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'Websphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
