Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Messaging and ESB

Accessing message properties

Message properties can add more envelope information about a message. The number of header fields is fixed, but properties are flexible. An application can add any number of property name-and-value pairs. Table 4–20 lists the methods to access message properties.

Table 4–20: Accessing message properties 

Setting message properties	Getting message properties
setBooleanProperty procedure setByteProperty procedure setDateProperty procedure setDateTimeProperty procedure setDateTimeTzProperty procedure setDoubleProperty procedure setFloatProperty procedure setIntProperty procedure setLongProperty procedure setShortProperty procedure setStringProperty procedure clearProperties procedure	getCharProperty function getDateProperty function getDateTimeProperty function getDateTimeTzProperty function getDecimalProperty function getIntProperty function getLogicalProperty function getPropertyType function getPropertyNames function

The requesting application clears the properties of a message (keeps header and body values unchanged) using clearProperties procedure.
