Question

I am sending messages to a remote queue, to which I have no control.

I send a xml file as message but when the application reads the message it gets a message header like

<mcd><Msd>jms_text</Msd></mcd>  \0\0\0l<jms><Dst>queue:///TEST</Dst><Tms>1281475843707</Tms><Cid></Cid><Dlv>1</Dlv></jms>

i don’t want this message header to be present and my code for sending this message is as follows:

Properties props = new Properties();
    props.setProperty("java.naming.factory.initial",this.initialFactory);
    props.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", url);

    Context context = new InitialContext(props);

    QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory) context.lookup(this.context);
    qConn = qcf.createQueueConnection();
    queue = (Queue)context.lookup(name);
    qSession = qConn.createQueueSession(false, QueueSession.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
    qConn.start();
            QueueSender send = qSession.createSender(queue);
     String text = "My xml file";
     TextMessage tm = qSession.createTextMessage(text);
     send.send(tm);
     send.close();

How do I avoid this ?

It appears that you are sending a jms message to a non jms destination. How is the message being consumed on the destination? Is it expecting a native MQ message? The receiver is not understanding the MQRFH2 header that stores the JMS header properties.

You should either configure the destination to understand jms or your can do something like the following to tell the mq jms that your receiver is a non-jms client.

((com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue) queue).setTargetClient(JMSC.MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ);
