Need help with SOAP for CICS

We are implementing SOAP for CICS TS2.2 using
WebSphereMQ.
We are wanting to have different adaptor programs
called from the Application Mapper. We believe that we
can do this by ensuring that we replace the message
handler by parsing the XML header and to retrieve the
header name. This headername would be used in the user
container to be passed to the application mapper. The
application mapper also needs to be changed to get the
container and use the value in it as the message
adapter program to be linked with. Will this work and
if so would anyone have the method of parsing the
header message in the message handler?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Many thanks,
Prasad

hy,

we are making a pilot using SOAP for CICS...
first, migrate to cics ts v3.1, this is recommended by ibm
cics ts v3.1 supports CHANNEL/CONTAINER
by calling your adaptor programs, you can use the LINK instead with
a commarea (not useful 32K limit), with a CHANNEL, the adaptor program
can ask for the CHANNEL with ASSIGN CHANNEL...

just note: with this method you will not boost any enduser performance
parsing xml is not fast, ok...
