XMS.NET fails when receiving JMS message with RFH2 header at ParseJmsFolder

Question

XMS.NET fails when receiving JMS message with RFH2 header at ParseJmsFolder

Our partner started using custom properties for messages being sent over IBM WebSphere MQ and our application developed using XMS.NET started to fail because of that.

It turned out that the error is being thrown inside parsing the JMS envelope and inside the ParseJmsFolder method.

This is the exception we get:

IBM.XMS.XMSException: Failed to create XMS message.
The wrong message type or properties were specified when creating a base message.
Check the linked WebSphere MQ exception reason and completion code for more information.

And these are the details from tracing the issue down:

Our partner suggests to try some settings in XMS.NET regarding the JMS behaviour, but all the options we have tried end up with the same error.

This is our configuration code:

factory.SetStringProperty(XMSC.WMQ_HOST_NAME, ".....com");
            factory.SetIntProperty(XMSC.WMQ_PORT, 1417);
            factory.SetStringProperty(XMSC.WMQ_CHANNEL, "....");
            factory.SetIntProperty(XMSC.WMQ_CONNECTION_MODE, XMSC.WMQ_CM_CLIENT);
            factory.SetStringProperty(XMSC.WMQ_QUEUE_MANAGER, "....");
            factory.SetIntProperty(XMSC.WMQ_BROKER_VERSION, XMSC.WMQ_BROKER_UNSPECIFIED);

...

var session = queueConnection.CreateSession(false, AcknowledgeMode.ClientAcknowledge);
            var queue = session.CreateQueue("....");
            queue.SetIntProperty(XMSC.WMQ_MESSAGE_BODY, XMSC.WMQ_MESSAGE_BODY_JMS);
            var subscriber = session.CreateConsumer(queue);

Is the sender application a JMS (or XMS) application or they hand crafting JMS headers? What version of XMS .NET are you using? Using RFHUtil,

I sent a message containing the JMS folder data your provided above and I see that XMS .NET V8.0 works fine. I also had to set the message type as jms_bytes. So I am wondering if the sender application is setting the message type correctly. Without the message type, application will get type casting error while receiving message.
