Examples: Outbound messaging using SendMsgCmd
The following Java code segment shows how interactions with the outbound messaging system
can take place. Example 1 shows you how to build a new XML message and send it through the outbound
messaging system. Example 2 shows you how to build an email message and send it through the outbound
messaging system:
Example 1
In this example, you can use either
SendMsgCmd.setContent
or
SendMsgCmd.compose
to build a new XML message and send it through the outbound
messaging system.Important: If
SendMsgCmd.setContent
and
SendMsgCmd.compose
are used together, content that is generated by composition can
override the other according to the following behavior priorities:- If
SendMsgCmd.setContent
is called with the languageId parameter, its generated content is overridden whenSendMsgCmd.compose
is called. - If
SendMsgCmd.setContent
is called without the languageId parameter, its generated content is not overridden whenSendMsgCmd.compose
is called.
Read the commented lines carefully and choose a method when you are copying the code snippet below. It is not recommended to use both methods, as it adds unnecessary complexity.

// End Example
// Example - building the message using the composition service. The composition service
// will use a JSP to build and format the message.
// Populate a TypedProperty object with any additional parameters the composition JSP requires.
TypedProperty compositionTypedProperty = null;
// Use the composition service to compose the message. This will lookup the JSP associated with the
// view as defined in the Struts configuration. The output of the JSP will be used as the message.
// The first parameter is null, this means the default ViewName defined in the MSGTYPES table is used.
// For the 'OrderReceived' message, the default ViewName is 'OrderReceivedView'.
// A custom view may be specified to override the default.
sendMessage.compose(null, getCommandContext(), compositionTypedProperty);
// End Example
// Set the subject, recipient and sender information using Configurable message data services.
sendMessage.setConfigData("subject","Your Order has been received");
sendMessage.setConfigData("recipient","recipient@recipient.com");

Example 2
In this example, you can use either
SendMsgCmd.setContent
or
SendMsgCmd.compose
to build an email message and send it through the outbound
messaging system.Important: If
SendMsgCmd.setContent

SendMsgCmd.compose
are used together, content that is generated by composition can
override the other according to the following behavior priorities:- If
SendMsgCmd.setContent
is called with the languageId parameter, its generated content is overridden whenSendMsgCmd.compose
is called. - If
SendMsgCmd.setContent
is called without the languageId parameter, its generated content is not overridden whenSendMsgCmd.compose
is called.

Composition JSP files
The default view for the OrderReceived message is defined in the MSGTYPES table and is the OrderReceivedView. This view is defined in the
struts-config-ext.xml file. This view refers to the
OrderReceivedNotify.jsp, which is used to compose the
message:
<forward className="com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionForward" name="OrderReceivedView/10101/-3" path="/Messages/OrderReceivedNotify.jsp">
<set-property property="implClassName" value="com.ibm.commerce.messaging.viewcommands.MessagingViewCommandImpl"/>
<set-property property="interfaceName" value="com.ibm.commerce.messaging.viewcommands.MessagingViewCommand"/>
</forward>
See
the OrderReceivedNotify.jsp file for details on how the message is
composed.
