com.bea.xml.XmlException: error: The document is not a WLJMSMessage@http://www.bea.com/WLS/JMS/Message

When importing a message in a Queue in WebLogic, make sure the XML complies to a specific schema:

element WLJMSMessage
namespace http://www.bea.com/WLS/JMS/Message

An empty message looks like:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mes:WLJMSMessage xmlns:mes="http://www.bea.com/WLS/JMS/Message">
<mes:Header/>
</mes:WLJMSMessage>


If you process this message with a MDB,

    public void onMessage(Message message) {
     TextMessage tm = (TextMessage)message;
        try {
   System.out.println("!!!message " + tm.getText());
  } catch (JMSException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
        
    }

you will get this:

MessageDrivenBean threw an Exception in onMessage(). The exception was: java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.jms.common.HdrMessageImpl



Since delivery fails, I also get this:

The Message-Driven EJB: MQGeoFeedMDB is throwing exception when processing the messages. Delivery failed after 139 attempts. The EJB container will suspend the message delivery for 60 seconds before retry.




A complete sample WL Message has this format:
