IBM Gift Center outbound messages

Outbound messages are messages sent from IBM Gift Center to an external system. The IBM Gift Center approach to outbound messaging is to use the SendGiftRegistryMessageCmd command, which can be called by the UpdateGiftRegistryCmd or CancelGiftRegistryCmd commands. To customize outbound messages, override the sendAllMessages() method.

An IBM Gift Center outbound message is intended to notify a backend system, if any, regarding updates to the gift registry. Only WebSphere MQ messaging is supported. An outbound message is simply a JSP file. It will be rendered by WebSphere Commerce's sendMsgCmd when being sent.

IBM Gift Center by default supports UpdateGiftRegistryMessage. The corresponding JSP file is located in the following directory:

WC_eardir/Stores.war/ConsumerDirect/Messages

WCDE_installdir\workspace\Stores\WebContent\ConsumerDirect\Messages

The JSP files are ordinary JSP files, but with a special requirement: they have to be well-formed XML after rendering. You can customize these files the same way that you would update a standard JSP file.
