Message Type Configuration page
The Create/Edit a Proxy Service - Message Type Configuration page is one in a series of pages for creating and editing proxy services, as described in
Creating and Configuring Proxy Services and
Editing Proxy Service Configurations.
Use this page to configure message types for a proxy service whose type is Messaging Service.
The binding definition for messaging services consists of configuring the content-type
of the messages that are exchanged. The content-type
for the response does not have to be the same as for the request; therefore, the response is configured separately (for example, the service could accept an MFL message and return an XML acknowledgment receipt).
Note: |
E-mail, File, FTP, or SFTP transport proxy services whose type is Messaging Service support one-way messaging only; the Response Message Type should be none . If you select an option other than none , the E-mail, File, FTP, or SFTP protocols will not be available on the Transport Configuration page. |
Table 17-2 describes how to use Create/Edit a Proxy Service - Message Type Configuration page.

- Binary - Select this option if the content-type of the message is unknown or not important.

- MFL - Select this option if the message is a binary document conforming to an MFL definition. Enter the MFL file name (qualified by its path), or click Browse to select a file.
You can configure only one MFL file.
Note: To support multiple MFL files, define the content as binary or text and use the MFL action in the message flow to convert to XML.
- XML - Select this option if the message is an XML document. Enter the XML file name (qualified by its path), or click Browse to select a file.
Optionally provide some type information by declaring (in the element or type field) the XML schema type of the XML document exchanged.
