Wire Formats

ActiveEnterprise Message is an externally-described XML message format supported by TIBCO Adapter SDK. ActiveEnterprise standard wire format provides class information and packing rules for the TIBCO Adapter SDK set of data types. This format allows ActiveEnterprise components to perform extra validation on messages sent or received. Control information for validation is sent in the message. If no control information is included, an exception is returned to the subscriber.

For more information about the control information generated and sent with TIBCO ActiveEnterprise messages, see TIBCO Adapter SDK Programmer’s Guide.

Rendezvous Message is a self-describing message format used by TIBCO Rendezvous applications. Control information for validation is not sent in the message. For Rendezvous wire format, a message of type RVMSG_RVMSG (Rendezvous 5.x) or TIBRVMSG_MSG (Rendezvous 6.x) is always sent. If a publisher sends a simple RVMSG_STRING or TIBRVMSG_STRING, an exception is passed to the subscribing application.

XML Message conforms to specifically constructed and fully compliant XML Schema (XSD) based on the existing definition of the ActiveEnterprise schema.
